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! --------------- 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! --------------- I hate to sail on this rotten tub. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! No grog allowed and rotten grub. And it's time for us to leave her. --------------- We swear by rote for want of more. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! But now were through so we'll go on shore. And it's time for us to leave her.
