Leave Her Johnny

While the time is hard
And the wage is low
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
But now once more
And soon we'll go
And it's time for us to leave her

Oh I thought I heard that old man say
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her"
Tomorrow you will get your pay
And its time for us to leave her

Leave her Johnny, leave her
Woah, 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

We swear by rote for want of more
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, now we're through
So we go on shore
And it's time for us to leave her

Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Woah, 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

Leave her, Johnny leave her
Woah, 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

Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Woah, 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
To leave her
