Thread Name: Lyr Req: Roseanne
Subject: Roseanne
Anyone know, or know where I can find, the lyrics to a sea song/shanty called Roseanne?

I think it might be from North East America.

There's an alternating refrain which follows the first and third lines of each verse :-

2nd line is Bye, Bye my Roseanne
4th Line is I won't be home tomorrow

The chorus itself goes:-

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye my my Roseanne
By bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
I won't be home tomorrow

Sounds a bit naff in black and white but its a lovely song and I'd really like to learn it.

Help anyone? Please ...?
