ONE MORE DAY 2

Oh row me 'cross the river
I heard a maiden say
Oh take me to me lover
One more day

Cho:
Only one more day, me Johnnys
One more day
Oh rock and roll me over
One more day

I'm almost broken hearted
I can no longer stay
Once more must we be parted
One more day
Cho:

So do not fear my beauty
I can no longer stay
And love makes way for duty
One more day
Cho:

I've seen the sea birds flyin'
Ashore from o'er the bay
I felt they was all cryin'
One more day
Cho:

'Cause sea birds get the warnin'
Which one and all obey
The tempest loud is stormin'
One more day
Cho:

So heave onside the anchor
We sail out from the bay
Oh heave onside the anchor
One more day
Cho:

Unlike Colcord's version of the homeward bound shanty in the DT, this version,
recorded by Lime Bay Mutiny in 1990, on their Live at the Blue Peter album,
appears to be a leaving shanty. There is nothing in the liner notes regarding
from where it was collected. It does not appear in the collections of Whall, Run
ciman
Terry or Shay.
