Leave Her Johnny - Alan Doyle

作词：Traditional/Traditional

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

The skipper was bad and the mate was worse

Leave her Johnny leave her

He would knock you down with a spike and a curse

And it's time for us to leave her

Oh the winds were foul and the work was hard

Leave her Johnny leave her

From the Liverpool Docks to the London Yard

And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her Johnny leave her

Oh leave her Johnny leave her

For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us to leave her

Oh there was rotten meat and moldy bread

Leave her Johnny leave her

But you'd eat it or you'd starve to death

And it's time for us to leave her

And I pray that I may never receive

Leave her Johnny leave her

Oh a hungry ship the likes of she

And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her Johnny leave her

Oh leave her Johnny leave her

For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her Johnny leave her

Oh leave her Johnny leave her

For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us to leave her

Now's the time to say goodbye

Oh leave her Johnny leave her

Oh them grunts they are all long bone dry

And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her Johnny leave her

Oh leave her Johnny leave her

For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us

To leave her Johnny leave her

Oh leave her Johnny leave her

For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow

And it's time for us to leave her
