Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought I heard the old man say
"Leave her Johnny, leave her"
Tomorrow ye will get yer pay
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 2]
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 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
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
Leave her Johnny, leave her
No grog allowed and rotten grub
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 6]
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 swear by rote for want of more
Leave her Johnny, leave her
But now we're through so we'll go on shore
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 8]
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
