Leave Her Johnny - Nathan Evans

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

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

Leave her Johnny leave her

Oh leave her Johnny leave her

And 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 swore 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

And leave her Johnny leave her

Oh leave her Johnny leave her

And for the voyage is long and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us to leave her
