Alan Doyle - Leave Her Johnny Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought I heard the old man say
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her"
It's a long, hard pull to the next payday
And it's time for us to leave her

[Verse 2]
The skipper was bad and the mate was worse
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
He would knock you down with a spike and a curse
And it's time for us to leave her

[Verse 3]
Oh, the winds were foul and the work was hard
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
From the Liverpool Docks to the London Yard
And it's time for us to leave her

[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her

[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Oh, there was rotten meat and moldy bread
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
But you'd eat it or you'd starve to death
And it's time for us to leave her

[Verse 5]
And I pray that I may never receive
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, a hungry ship the likes of she
And it's time for us to leave her

[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 6]
Now's the time to say goodbye
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, them grunts, they are all long bone dry
And it's time for us to leave her

[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us

[Outro]
To leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
