Default Stay'sl sheets

Is there a good way to set up a staysail so it has just one sheet going aft? The sail will not be club-footed, but the padeyes on the coachroof that the sheet blocks attach to will be prettty close to the clew cringle. Could they perhaps be set up like an old-fashioned mainsheet, which has the sheet going from one side of the boat to the boom, then back down to the other side, through a block and back up and through, etc. but whose end result is just one line to pull on to bring in the boom?
Thanks!
Ben
