about

Another work piece whose origin is lost in seafaring traditions, but which clearly deals with the end of the journey, when you have to leave your "Her". Of course the "Her" is not a damsel but your ship !!

lyrics

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

Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
She shipped it green and none went by
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

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 swear 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

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
