Oh, have you heard the news, me Johnny
One more day
We're homeward bound tomorrow
One more day
Only one more day, me Johnny
One more day
Oh, rock and roll me over
One more day
Don't you hear the old man growlin'
Don't you hear the mate a howlin'
Don't you hear the caps'n pawlin'
Don't you hear the pilot bawlin'
Only one more day a-howlin'
Can't you hear the gals a-callin'
Only one more day a-rollin'
Can't you hear the gulls a-callin'
Only one more day a-furlin'
Only one more day a-cursin'
Oh, heave and sight the anchor, Johnny
For we're close aboard the port, Johnny
Only one more day for Johnny
And your pay-day's nearly due, Johnny
Then put out your long-tail blue, Johnny
Make your port and take your pay, Johnny
Only one more day a-pumpin', Johnny
Only one more day a-bracin'
Oh, we're homeward bound today, Johnny
We'll leave her without sorrow, Johnny
Pack your bags today me Johnny
Oh, an' leave her where she lies, Johnny
Only one more day a-workin', Johnny
Oh, come rock 'n' roll me over
No more gales or heavy weather
Only one more day together
