[00:00.61] | Oh, times were hard and the wages low |
[00:04.75] | Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
[00:07.59] | I guess it’s time for us to go |
[00:11.07] | It’s time for us to leave her |
[00:13.70] | Beware these packet ships, I say |
[00:17.29] | Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
[00:19.87] | They’ll steal your stores and your clothes away |
[00:23.37] | It’s time for us to leave her |
[00:25.95] | There’s Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat |
[00:29.70] | Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
[00:32.22] | And Yankee John, the pocket rat |
[00:35.41] | It’s time for us to leave her |
[00:37.93] | She would not wear and she would not stay |
[00:41.73] | Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
[00:44.30] | She shipped great seas both night and day |
[00:47.65] | It’s time for us to leave her |
[00:49.97] | Its rotten beef and waverly bread |
[00:53.92] | Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
[00:56.44] | It was pump or drown, the old man said |
[00:59.48] | It’s time for us to leave her |
[01:02.31] | The sails all furled, our work is done |
[01:05.70] | Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
[01:08.18] | And now ashore we’ll take our run |
[01:11.46] | It’s time for us to leave her |
[01:13.63] | Oh, what will us poor shellbacks do |
[01:17.48] | Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
[01:19.61] | Our money’s gone, more work to do |
[01:23.15] | It’s time for us to leave her |
[00:00.61] | Oh, times were hard and the wages low |
