Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her |
| Oh, the times are hard and the wages low |
| Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| I’ll pack my bag and go below |
| It’s time for us to leave her |
| It’s growl you may but go you must: |
| Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| It matters not if last or first |
| It’s time for us to leave her |
| I’m a-getting' thin and a-growin' sad |
| Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| Since first I joined this woodenclad |
| It’s time for us to leave her |
| I thought I heard the first mate say |
| Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| «Just one more drag and then belay» |
| It’s time for us to leave her |
| The work was hard and the voyage long: |
| Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| The seas were high and the gales were strong |
| It’s time for us to leave her |
| The sails are furled: our work is done |
| Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| And now on shore we’ll have some fun |
| It’s time for us to leave her |
| It’s time for us to leave her |
| It’s time for us to leave her |
