Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her

Lyrics

I thought I heard the old man say
 "Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 It's a long, hard pull to the next payday
 And it's time for us to leave her"
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
 And it's time for us to leave her
 Oh, the winds were foul and the work was hard
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 From the Liverpool dock to the London yard
 And it's time for us to leave her
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
 And it's time for us to leave her
 Oh, the skipper was bad, but the mate was worse
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 He'd blow you down with a spike and a curse
 And it's time for us to leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
 And it's time for us to leave her
 It was rotten meat and moldy bread
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 You'd eat it or you'd starve to death
 And it's time for us to leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
 And it's time for us to leave her
 Well it's time for us to say goodbye
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 For now those pumps are all pumped dry
 And it's time for us to leave her (one more time)
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
 And it's time for us to leave her
 We'll see you tomorrow, thank you very much
