Leave Her Johnny

[00:00.94] Oh, the times were hard and the wages are low,

[00:05.44] (Leave her, Johnny, leave her!)

[00:08.93] I guess it's time for us to go,

[00:13.44] (And it's time for us to leave her!)

[00:17.68] Beware these packet ships, I say!

[00:22.68] (Leave her, Johnny, leave her!)

[00:24.93] They'll steal your stores and your clothes away

[00:29.68] (And it's time for us to leave her!)

[00:33.93] {Chorus}

[00:37.93] Leave her, Johnny, leave her

[00:40.18] Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her

[00:42.18] For the voyage is done, and the winds don't blow

[00:46.18] and it's time for us to leave her

[00:50.43] There's Liverpool Pat in his tarpaulin hat

[00:54.18] (Leave her, Johnny, leave her!)

[00:58.18] And Yankee John the pocket rat

[01:02.18] (And it's time for us to leave her!)

[01:06.70] She would not wear and she would not stay

[01:10.18] (Leave her, Johnny, leave her!)

[01:13.93] She shipped great seas both night and day

[01:17.93] (And it's time for us to leave her!)

[01:22.18] {Chorus}

[01:38.68] It's rotten beef and weevil-y bread,

[01:42.43] (Leave her, Johnny, leave her!)

[01:46.69] It was pump or drown the old man said,

[01:50.44] (And it's time for us to leave her!)

[01:54.68] The sails all furled, our work is done,

[01:58.19] (Leave her, Johnny, leave her!)

[02:01.93] and now ashore we'll take our rum

[02:06.19] (And it's time for us to leave her!)

[02:10.43] {Chorus til Finish}
