Traditional Folk Song, Roud 704
Variant by Clayton Kennedy

Oh, have you heard the news, me Johnny
One more day
We’re homeward bound tomorrow, Johnny
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’, Johnny
Don’t you hear the mate a-howlin’, Johnny

Oh don’t you hear the caps’n pawling
Don’t you hear the pilot bawlin’, Johnny

Only one more day a-howlin’, Johnny
Can’t you hear the judies callin’

Only one more day a-furlin’, Johnny
Only one more day a-cursin’

No more gales or heavy weather, Johnny
Only one more day together, boys

[Chorus x2]
