Oh I thought I heard the old man say

Chorus:
EA
Leave her, Johnny,leave her
DA
Oh leave her, Johnny,leave her.
DAF#m
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
AEA
And it's time for us to leave her.

Now the winds were foul and the work was hard
EE
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
DAF#m
From the Liverpool docks to the London yard
AEA
And it's time for us to leave her.
Chorus
A
Now the skipper was bad but the mate was worse

Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
DAF#m
He would cut you down with a swipe and a curse
AEA
And it's time for us to leave her.
A
Now it was rotten meat and moldy bread
EE
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
DAF#m
You would eat it or you would starve to death.
AEA
Now it's time for us to leave her.
