Eb Oh I thought I heard the old man say B (Leave her, Johnny, leave her.) Ab Eb C Tomorrow ye will get your pay! Eb B Eb (And it's time for us to leave her.)
Chorus: B Eb Leave her, Johnny,leave her Ab Eb Oh leave her, Johnny,leave her. Ab Eb C For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow Eb B Eb And it's time for us to leave her.
The wind was foul and the sea ran high, She shipped it green and none went by.
Chorus
I hate to sail on this rotten tub, No grog allowed and rotten grub!
Chorus
We swear by rote for want of more, But now we're through so we'll go on shore.
