| 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 long and the winds don't blow
|
| And it's time for us to leave her
|
| Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
|
| "Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"
|
| She shipped it green and none went by
|
| And it's time for us to leave her
|
| Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
|
| Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
|
| For the voyage is long 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 long 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!"
|
| But now we're through 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 long and the winds don't blow
|
| And it's time for us to leave her |
