| Oh my Johnny's 'cross the river I heard a young girl say | |
| Oh rock and row me over, one more day! | |
| Chorus: | |
| One more day me Johnny, | |
| One more day! | |
| Oh rock and row me over, one more day! | |
| Oh, row me to my lover, tell him I won't delay | |
| Soon we'll be in clover, one more day | |
| Chorus | |
| Oh Johnny he's a rover, he says he'll sail away | |
| He wants to leave the river, one more day | |
| Chorus | |
| But stay my John and tarry for just another day | |
| 'tis you I want to marry, one more day | |
| Chorus | |
| I'm almost broken-hearted, I can no longer stay | |
| How long must we be parted? One more day | |
| Chorus | |
| So do not fear my beauty, I can no longer stay | |
| And love makes way for duty, One more day | |
| Chorus | |
| I've seen the sea-birds flying, ashore from o'er the bay | |
| I felt they all were cryin', one more day | |
| Chorus | |
| The seabirds take the warning which one and all obey | |
| The tempest soon is storming, one more day | |
| Chorus | |
| So heave on-side the anchor, we sail out of the bay | |
| Heave on-side the anchor, one more day | |
| Chorus | |
