One More Day
as led by Barry Finn on Fathom This © 2007 |
|
"Oh row me 'cross the river," I heard a maiden say; "Oh row me to my lover," One more day!
Only one more day, my Johnnys,
I'm nearly broken hearted;
Only one more day, my Johnnys,
I see the sea birds flyin',
Only one more day, my Johnnys,
The sea birds take the warnin'
Only one more day, my Johnnys,
Oh, do not fear, my beauty,
Only one more day, my Johnnys,
It's many seas I'll roam, love,
Only one more day, my Johnnys,

| This great capstan shanty came to Barry by way of Susanne Friend, formerly of San Francisco. Her version is better suited to capstan work, with its use of the full chorus and tempo. |
