Leave Her Johnny - Sean Dagher, Nils Brown, Michiel Schrey

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
