Leave Her, Johnny Lyrics

I thought I heard the old man say
Leave her Johnny leave her
It's a long hard pull to the next pay day
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
leave her Johnny leave her
From the Liverpool dock 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
It was rotten meat and moldy bread
Leave her Johnny leave her
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 now it's time to say good bye
Leave her Johnny leave her
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
