Oh, have you heard the news, my Johnny?
Ch: One more day!
We're homeward bound tomorrow
Ch: One more day!
Only one more day, my Johnny
One more day!
Oh, rock and row me over,
One more day!
We're homeward bound to-morrow, Johnny,
We leave you without sorrow.
Can't you hear the old man snarling, Johnny ?
Can't you hear the capstan pawling?
Oh, heave and sight the anchor, Johnny,
Oh, heave and sight the anchor.
I'm bound away to leave you, Johnny,
But I will not deceive you.
Ch: One more day, my Johnny,
One more day
O rock and roll me over
For one more day
There is one thing more that grieves me
Ch: For one more day
There is my poor wife and baby
Ch: For one more day.
I'm bound away to leave you
Ch: For one more day
Don't let my parting grieve you
Ch: For one more day.
