One more day

Oh have you heard the news me Johnnies?
One more day!
We're outward* bound tomorrow!
One more day!

[chorus] Only one more day, me Johnnies,
One more day, well rock and roll me over,
One more day!

Well can you hear the old man growlin'?
One more day!
Oh can't you hear the mate a howlin'?
One more day!

[repeat chorus]

Well pack your bags today, me Johnnies,
One more day!
And leave her where she lies me Johnnies!
One more day!

[repeat chorus]

*It's originally "homeward bound", but as sea shanties are a flexible tradition and can be modified to suit the occasion, I took liberties.

My bags are still in the process of being packed, but tomorrow when Dad gets home we're going to head out to Erie, and I can't wait!
