Leave Her Johnny Song Lyrics
I thought I heard the Old Man say
“Leave her, Johnny, leave her” Tomorrow ye will get your pay And it’s time for us to leave herLeave 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 herOh, 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 herLeave 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 herI 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 herLeave 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 herWe 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 herLeave 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
