[Verse 1: Dan Zanes]
Oh, Rosyanne, sweet Rosyanne
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
I'm going away but not to stay
And I won't be home tomorrow

[Chorus: Dan Zanes]
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
I won't be home tomorrow

[Verse 2: Nick Cave]
I thought I heard the captain say
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
"Don't you wanna go home on your next pay day?"
I won't be home tomorrow

[Chorus: Dan Zanes & Nick Cave]
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
And I won't be home tomorrow

[Verse 3: Dan Zanes]
Steamboat's coming around the bend
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
She's loaded down with harvest men
And I won't be home tomorrow
[Chorus: Dan Zanes & Nick Cave]
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
And I won't be home tomorrow

[Verse 4: Nick Cave]
The steamboat's coming around the bend
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
She's a-loaded down with the fishermen
And I won't be home tomorrow

[Chorus: Dan Zanes & Nick Cave]
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
And I won't be home tomorrow

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5: Dan Zanes & Nick Cave]
A dollar a day is a fisherman's pay
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
Easy come, easy go away
Won't be home tomorrow
[Chorus; Dan Zanes & Nick Cave]
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye my Rosyanna
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
And I won't be home tomorrow
