Lyrics
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 long, and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
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
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
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
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
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
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
