Leave Her Johnny
(Traditional)

Oh, I thought I heard the old man say
Leave her Johnny, leave her
It's a long, hard pull to the next payday
And it's time for us to leave her

(Chorus)
Leave her Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her

The skipper was bad, but the mate was worse
He'd blow ya down with a spike and a curse

Oh, it's rotten meat and weevily bread
It's pump or drown, the old man said

Oh, what will us poor pirates do
When the money's gone, no work to do

Oh, it's one more pull boys, and that will do
Oh we're the boys to kick her through

So I thought I heard the old man say
It's one more pull and then belay

We'd be better off out of the gale
In an inn all night with plenty of ale
