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 done 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 done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
The cook's a drunk and the maid is, too
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"
And the crew is 14 men to few.
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
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
We'd be better off in a nice clean jail.
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"
With smuggled-in whores, and smuggled-in ale.
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
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
We swear by rote for want of more,
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"
The voyage is done 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 done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
And it's time for us to leave her.
