Leave her Johnny Leave Her
Oh, I overheard the old man say
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
It's a long, hard pull to your next pay day
And it's time for us to leave her
Chorus:
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
When the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
It's time for us to leave her
Oh, pull you lubbers or you'll get no pay
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, pull you lubbers and then belay
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 spit and a curse
And it's time for us to leave her
<repeat first verses>
