Oh, Rosianne, sweet Rosianne,
Bye -bye, my Rosianna.
I'm going away, but not to stay,
And I won't be home tomorrow.
Bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye,
bye -bye, bye -bye, my Rosianna
Bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye,
and I won't be home tomorrow
Awful pretty chorus
For a dollar a day
Is a sailor's pay
Bye, bye, bye, Rosianna
It's easy come
Then he pisses it away
And I won't be home tomorrow
Bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye,
bye -bye, my Rosianna
Bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye,
and I won't be home tomorrow
Rosie Anne, sweet Rosie Anne
Bye, bye, bye, Rosie Anne
I'm going away, but not to stay
And I won't be home tomorrow
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, my Louisiana
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
And I won't be home tomorrow
You know, Arlo,
this old palace
was built in 1925.
Bye -bye, my Rosianna.
Now she may be old,
but tonight we're gonna make
her come alive.
Won't be home tomorrow.
Now let's hear it!
Bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye.
Bye, bye, bye, Rosianna
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
And I won't be home tomorrow
You know, Arlo, we're in Boston
The land of the bean and the cob
Bye -bye, my Rosianna,
where the Lowells speak only to cabbots
and the cabbots speak only to God,
and I won't be home tomorrow.
Bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye,
bye -bye, bye -bye, my Rosie Anne
Bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye,
and I won't be home tomorrow
Oh, Rosianne, sweet Rosianne
Bye, bye, bye, Rosianne
I'm going away, but not to stay
And I won't be home tomorrow
Oh, bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye,
bye -bye, bye -bye, Rosie An ne
Bye -bye, bye -bye, bye -bye,
bye -bye,
and I won't be home tomorrow
You know, as you go home tonight,
you can sing it many more times.
Bye -bye, my Louisiana.
You can keep the whole damn
neighborhood awake
while you make up some rhymes.
It won't be long tomorrow.
Once more! bye, bye bye, bye bye,
bye bye, bye bye, bye Rosianna
Sing it out!
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye,
we won't be home tomorrow
Hey, sing it again!
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye,
bye bye, Mar -a -Luziana
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye,
won't be long till I'm back home
Thank
