Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her

Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her - Joe Stead

Oh I thought I heard the ol man say

Leave her Johnny leave her

Tomorrow ye will get your pay

An' 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

The wind was foul an the sea ran high

Leave her Johnny leave her

She shipped it green an none went by

An' 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

Mahogany beef an weevils in our bread

Leave her Johnny leave her

We wisht old Crackerhash Joe wuz dead

An 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

The mate was a bucko an the old man a Turk

Leave her Johnny leave her

The bosun wuz a beggar with the middle name o' Work

An 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
