Leave Her Johnny - Traditional
Oh 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
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
The wind was foul and the seas ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
She shipped it green and none went by
And it's time for us to leave her
Chorus
We’d be better off in a nice clean jail
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
With all night in and plenty of ale
And it's time for us to leave her
Chorus
The old man swears and the mate swears too
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
The crew will swear and so would you
And it's time for us to leave her
Chorus
We’ll leave her tight and we’ll leave her trim
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
And we’ll heave the hungry bastard in
And it's time for us to leave her
Chorus
