O I thought I heard the old man say
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
I hate to sail on this rotten tub
No grog allowed and rotten grub
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Oh now we're through so we'll gon on shore
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Tomorrow ye will get your pay
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Oh the wind was foul an' the sea ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
She shipped it green an' none went by
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
An' it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
We swear by rote for want o' more
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her!
