Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Oh the times was hard and the wages low
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
But now once more ashore we'll go
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her!
I thought I heard the old man say
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
An' tomorrow ye will get your pay
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Oh the wind was foul an' the sea ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
She shipped it green an' none went by
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her!
We swear by rote for want o' more
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
But now we're through so we'll go on shore
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her!
