Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her Songtext
von Seamus Kennedy

Oh, I thought I heard the Old Man say
"Leave her Johnny, leave her"
"It′s a long hard pull to the next payday
And its 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 won't blow
And it′s time for us to leave her

Oh, the skipper was bad but the maid was worst
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 won′t blow
And it′s time for us to leave her

Oh, pull you lubbers or you'll get no pay
Leave her Johnny leave her
Oh, pull you lubbers and then belay
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 won'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 to the next payday
And its 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 won′t blow
And it's time for us to leave her
