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!
