Oh, Roseanne, sweet Roseanne, Bye, bye my Roseanna! I’m goin’ away, but not to stay, An’ 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, An’ I won’t be home tomorrow!
I thought I heard the Captain say, Heave up the anchor, let’s haul away.
A dollar a day is the fisherman’s pay, It’s easy come, easy slip away.
Our ship she’s a-comin’ around the bend, All loaded down with fishermen.
Oh, Roseanne, sweet Roseanne, I’m goin’ away, but not to stay.
