| Oh, times were hard and the wages low
|
| «Leave her, Johnny, leave her.»
|
| I guess it’s time for us to go
|
| «It's time for us to leave her.»
|
| Beware these packet ships, I say
|
| «Leave her, Johnny, leave her.»
|
| They’ll steal your stores and your clothes away
|
| «It's time for us to leave her.»
|
| There’s Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat
|
| «Leave her, Johnny, leave her.»
|
| And Yankee John, the pocket rat
|
| «It's time for us to leave her.»
|
| She would not wear and she would not stay
|
| «Leave her, Johnny, leave her.»
|
| She shipped great seas both night and day
|
| «It's time for us to leave her.»
|
| Its rotten beef and waverly bread
|
| «Leave her, Johnny, leave her.»
|
| It was pump or drown, the old man said
|
| «It's time for us to leave her.»
|
| The sails all furled, our work is done
|
| «Leave her, Johnny, leave her.»
|
| And now ashore we’ll take our run
|
| «It's time for us to leave her.»
|
| Oh, what will us poor shellbacks do?
|
| «Leave her, Johnny, leave her.»
|
| Our money’s gone, more work to do
|
| «It's time for us to leave her.» |
