Lyrics
Sweet Rosyanne, Sweet Rosyanne,
Bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna
I’ll see you again but I don’t know when
For I won’t be home tomorrow.

I thought I heard my captain say bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna
Tomorrow is our sailing day
But I won’t be home tomorrow.

Refrain:
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna.

The schooner’s comin ‘round the bend,
Bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna,
It’s loaded down with sailormen,
For I won’t be home to-morrow.

Sweet Rosyanne, my darlin’ child,
Bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna,
The ocean is a sailor’s bride,
For I won’t be home to-morrow.

We’ll cast our nets on the ocean blue,
Bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna,
With every cast I’ll think of you,
For I won’t be home to-morrow.

The ocean turns from green to blue,
Bye bye, Sweet Rosyanne,
But my heart will never turn from you,
Though I won’t be home to-morrow.

The stars are rockin’ high above,
Bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna,
The sailor’s dreamin’ of his love,
For he won’t be home to-morrow.


The green waves rollin’ by our side,
Bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna,
The ocean is a sailor’s bride,
And I won’t be home to-morrow.

I thought I heard my darlin’ say,
Bye bye, Sweet Rosyanna,
Doncha want to be home on next playday?
For I won’t be home to-morrow.

Refrain:
Sweet Rosyanne, my darlin’ child, bye bye,
Sweet Rosyanne bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye,
For I won’t be home tomorrow
