Leave Her
Well, the times was hard, and the wages low,
Leave her, Jonny, leave her,
And now it's time for us to go,
And it's time for us to leave her.
Leave her, Jonny, leave her,
Leave her, Jonny, leave her,
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
And it's time for us to leave her.
Well, the first mate's a bucko and the old man's a turk
The bosun was a bastard with the middle name of work
Repeat Chorus
Well, she would not wear, she would not stay
She'd ship great seas both night and day
Repeat Chorus
Well, pull ye lubbers or you'll get no pay
Well, pull ye lubbers and then belay
Repeat Chorus
Yes, it's time for us to say goodbye
The old beerhead is a - drawin' nigh
Repeat Chorus
