Oh have you heard the news, my Johnny?
One more day!
We're homeward bound tomorrow,
One more day!
Only one more day, my Johnny
Only one more day!
Oh rock and row me over,
One more day!
Oh heave and sight the anchor, Johnny
One more day!
Oh heave and sight the anchor,
One more day!
Only one more day, my Johnny
Only one more day!
Oh rock and row me over,
One more day!
I'm bound away to leave you, Johnny,
One more day!
But I will not deceive you,
One more day!
Only one more day, my Johnny
Only one more day!
Oh rock and row me over,
One more day!
