Bye-bye, My Roseanna
Hymnal Index | Ship's Company Website
CHORUS:
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.


The boats are sailing around the bend,
Bye-bye, my Roseanna.
All loaded down with fishermen
I won't be home tomorrow.

A dollar a day's a sailor's pay
It's easy come, easy slip away

Oh Roseann, sweet Roseann
I'm going away, but not to stay

We're sailing North, across the bay
We won't be back for many a day
