Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I thought I heard the old man say
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Tomorrow you will get your pay
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 2]
And leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
And for the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 3]
Oh the wind was foul and the sea ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
She shipped it green and none went by
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 4]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
And for the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 5]
I hate to sail on this rotten tub
And leave her, Johnny, leave her
No grog allowed, and rotten grub
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 6]
And leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 7]
We swore by rote for want of more
And leave her, Johnny, leave her
But now we're through, so we'll go onshore
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 8]
And leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
And for the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 9]
And leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
And for the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
