18 - Bye-bye my Roseanna
Words by TraditionalTune by Traditional
The boats are sailing round the bay,
Bye-bye my Roseanna.
All loaded down with fishermen,
I won’t be home tomorrow.
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 is a fisherman’s pay
It’s easy come, easy go away
We’re leaving port at break of day
We’re sailing out across the bay
Around the horn we must go
The gales are strong and the winds do blow
Roseanne, my Roseanne
I’m going away but not to stay
