Bye Bye Roseanna

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

The boats are sailing around the bend
Bye-bye, my Roseanna

All loaded down with fishermen
I won't be home tomorrow.

Chorus sung after each verse:

Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye,
bye-bye, my Roseanna.

Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye,
I won't be home tomorrow

 

A dollar a day's a sailors pay
Bye-bye, my Roseanna.

It´s easy come, easy slip away
I won't be home tomorrow

Oh Roseann, sweet Roseann
Bye-bye, my Roseanna.

I'm going away, but not to stay
I won't be home tomorrow.

We're sailing North, across the bay
Bye-bye, my Roseanna

We won't be back for many a day
I won't be home tomorrow

Oh Roseann, my Roseann
Bye-bye, my Roseanna

Oh Roseann, sweet Roseann
I won't be home tomorrow
