Lyrics:

Sweet Rosyanne,
My Rosyanne,
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!
I'll see you again,
But I don't know when--
For 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,
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!

Sweet Rosyanne,
My darlin' child,
Bye-bye my Rosyanna.
The ocean is a sailor's bride--
No, I won't be home tomorrow.
We'll cast our nets on the ocean blue.
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!
With every cast, I'll think of you.
No, I won't be home tomorrow.
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye,
Be-bye my Rosyanna!
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye,
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!

I thought I heard the ocean say,
'Bye-bye my Rosyanna!'
Don't you want ta' go home on your next pay day?
No, 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,
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!
Bye-bye my Rosyanna!
