Nathan Evans - Leave Her Johnny

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/853246
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 long and the winds don’t blow
And it’s time for us to leave her

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

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

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

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

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

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
