D                         G         D 
Oh, I thought I heard the old man say, 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her. 
      G          D        G          D 
It's a long hard pull to the next payday, 
         D               A    D 
and It's time for us to leave her. 

 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her, 
    G                  D 
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her. 
        G         D            G           Bm 
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow, 
         D              A     D 
and it's time for us to leave her. 

D                         G         D 
Now the winds were foul and the work was hard, 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her. 
      G          D        G          D 
From the Liverpool docks to the London yard, 
         D               A    D 
and It's time for us to leave her. 


 

D                         G         D 
Now the skipper was bad but the mate was worse, 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her. 
      G          D        G          D 
He would cut you down with a swipe and a curse, 
         D               A    D 
and it's time for us to leave her. 

D                         G         D 
Now it was rotten meat and moldy bread, 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her. 
      G          D        G          D 
You would eat it or you would starve to death, 
         D               A    D 
And it's time for us to leave her. 

D                         G         D 
Now it's time for us to say farewell, 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her. 
      G          D        G          D 
For now those pumps are all pumped dry, 
         D               A    D 
And it's time for us to leave her.
