[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and the winds don’t blow
And it’s time for us to leave her

[Verse 2]
Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
She shippеd it green and none went by
And it’s time for us to lеave her

[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and the winds don’t blow
And it’s time for us to leave her

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and the winds don’t blow
And it’s time for us to leave her

[Verse 4]
We swore by rote for want of more
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
But now we’re through so we’ll go on shore
And it’s time for us to leave her

[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and the winds don’t blow
And it’s time for us to leave her
