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 |
