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 times was hard and the wages low
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
But now once more on shore we'll go
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
Oh, 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 done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
Well, the work was hard and the voyages long
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, the sea went high and the gails was strong
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
In a hungry bitch, the likes of sea
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
Well the rats have left, and we the crew
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, it's time by damn' that we went to
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
