Leave Her Johnny - Dave Van Ronk

Oh times were hard and the wages low

Leave her Johnny leave her

I guess it's time for us to go

It's time for us to leave her

Beware these packet ships I say

Leave her Johnny leave her

They'll steal your stores and your clothes away

It's time for us to leave her

There's Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat

Leave her Johnny leave her

And Yankee John the pocket rat

It's time for us to leave her

She would not wear and she would not stay

Leave her Johnny leave her

She shipped great seas both night and day

It's time for us to leave her

Its rotten beef and waverly bread

Leave her Johnny leave her

It was pump or drown the old man said

It's time for us to leave her

The sails all furled our work is done

Leave her Johnny leave her

And now ashore we'll take our run

It's time for us to leave her

Oh what will us poor shellbacks do

Leave her Johnny leave her

Our money's gone more work to do

It's time for us to leave her
