Oh 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 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 skipper was bad

But the mate was worse

Leave her Johnny Leave her

He'd blow you down with a spike and a curse

And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her Johnny Leave her

Oh 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 pull you lubbers or you'll get no pay

Leave her Johnny Leave her

Oh pull you lubbers and then be lay

And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her Johnny Leave her

Oh 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 I thought I heard the old man say

"Leave her Johnny Leave her "

It's a long hard pull till the next pay day

And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her Johnny Leave her

Oh 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

Leave her Johnny Leave her

Oh 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
