lyrics:

Oh, rosyanne, sweet rosyanne
Bye, bye my rosyanna
I’m going away, but not to stay
And I won’t be home tomorrow

Bye–bye bye–bye
bye–bye bye–bye
Bye–bye my rosyanna
Bye–bye bye–bye
bye–bye bye–bye

I won’t be home tomorrow
I thought I heard the captain say
Don’t you want to go home
On your next payday?

Bye–bye bye–bye
bye–bye bye–bye

Steamboat’s coming around the bend
She’s loaded down with fishermen

Bye–bye bye–bye
bye–bye bye–bye

A dollar a day is a fisherman’s pay
Easy come easy go away

Bye–bye bye–bye
bye–bye bye–bye
