Leave Her, Johnny

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 times was hard and the wages low
And the grub was bad and the gales did blow
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
From the Liverpool docks 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
He’d blow you down with a spike and a curse
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

It was rotten meat and moldy bread  
You’d eat it or you’d starve to death
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

And we'll leave her tight and we'll leave her trim
And heave the hungry packet in
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

And now it's time to say goodbye
For now those pumps are all pumped dry
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
