Lyrics
Oh I thought I heard the old man say
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
It's a hard old pull to the next payday
It's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
It's time for us to leave her
Now the winds were foul and the work was hard
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
From the Liverpool docks to the London yards
Time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
It's time for us to leave her
Now the skipper was bad but the mate was worse
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
He would cut you down with a swipe and a curse
It's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
It's time for us to leave her
Now it was rotten meat and moldy bread
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
You would eat it or you would starve to death
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
It's time for us to leave her
Now it was time for us to say farewell
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
For now those pumps are all pumped dry
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
It's time for us to leave her
