Leave Her Johnny Leave Her

I thought I heard the old man say
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
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 

It’s a long hard pull to the next pay day
 And it’s time for us to leave her
 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 It’s a long hard pull to the next pay day
  And it’s time for us to leave her 

The captain was bad but the mate was worse...
He could blow you down with a sigh and a curse...

 Leave her, Johnny, leave her
 Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
 He could blow you down with a sigh and a curse
 And it’s time for us to leave her

And a dollar a day is a Jack Shite’s pay...
When it’s pump all night and work all day...
Now the rats are all gone and we the crew...
Oh it’s time by Christ that we went too...
Well it’s pump or drown, the old man said...
Or else by Christ we’ll all be dead...
I thought I heard the old man say...
Just one more pump and then belay...
