Leave Her Johnny - Lou Reed (娄.里德)

O the times are hard and the wages low

Leave her Johnny leave her

I guess it's time for us to go

An' it's time for us to leave her

O I thought I heard the old man say

Leave her Johnny leave her

Tomorrow you will get your pay

An' it's time for us to leave her

Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat

Leave her Johnny leave her

It's Yankee John the packet rat

An' it's time for us to leave her

It's rotten beef an' weev'ly bread

Leave her Johnny leave her

It's pump or drown the old man said

An' it's time for us to leave her

We'd be better off in a nice clean jail

Leave her Johnny leave her

With all night in an' plenty o' ale

An' it's time for us to leave her

The mate was a bucko an' the old man a turk

Leave her Johnny leave her

The bosun was a beggar with the middle name o' work

An' it's time for us to leave her

Cook's a drunk he likes to booze

Leave her Johnny leave her

Between him an' the mate there's little to choose

An' 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

An' it's time for us to leave her

No Liverpool bread nor rotten crackerhash

Leave her Johnny leave her

No dandyfunk nor cold an' sloppy hash

An' it's time for us to leave her

The old man shouts the pumps stand by

Leave her Johnny leave her

Oh we can never suck her dry

An' it's time for time for us to leave her

Now I thought I heard the old man say

Leave her Johnny leave her

Just one more pull then belay

An' it's time for us to leave her

It's time for us to leave her

It's time for us to leave her

For the voyage is done an' the winds don't blow

An' it's time for us to leave her
