Johnny Leave Her
Oh, I thought I heard the old man say
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her"
It's a long hard pull 'til the next pay day
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, the skipper was bad, but the mate was worse
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
He'd blow you down with a spike and a curse
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, pull your lovers or you'll get no pay
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, pull your lovers and then be lay
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, I thought I heard the old man say
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her"
It's a long hard pull 'til the next pay day
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
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her"
It's a long hard pull 'til the next pay day
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, the skipper was bad, but the mate was worse
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
He'd blow you down with a spike and a curse
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, pull your lovers or you'll get no pay
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, pull your lovers and then be lay
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, I thought I heard the old man say
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her"
It's a long hard pull 'til the next pay day
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
