Ruth Rosie - Leave Her Johnny

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
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
Oh the wind was foul and the voyage was long
Leave her Johnny leave her
The sea was high and the winds were strong
And it's time for us to leave her
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
No more Cape Horn, no more stand by
Leave her Johnny leave her
We'll pump her out and leave her dry
And it's time for us to leave her
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
Oh the work is hard and the wages low
Leave her Johnny leave her
But now once more ashore we'll go
And it's time for us to leave her
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
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
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
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
