Oh the times were hard and the wages low

Leave her, Johnny, leave her

And itʼs time for us to leave her

Leave her, Johnny, leave her
GD
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
GDGBm
For the voyage is done and the winds do blow
GAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her

I thought I heard the Old Man say

Leave her, Johnny, leave her

You can go ashore and take your pay
DAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her
Chorus:
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
GD
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
GDGBm
For the voyage is done and the winds do blow
GAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her

Oh her stern was foul and the voyage was long

Leave her, Johnny, leave her
GDGD
The winds was bad and the gales was strong
DAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her
Chorus:
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her

Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her

For the voyage is done and the winds do blow

And heave the hungry packet in
DAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her

For the voyage is done and the winds do blow
GAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her

Leave her, Johnny, leave her
GDGD
For thereʼs many a worser weʼve sailed in
DAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her
Chorus:
AD
Leave her, Johnny, leave her

Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
GDGBm
For the voyage is done and the winds do blow
GAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her

Leave her, Johnny, leave her

For the old pier-headʼs a-drawing nigh
DAD
And itʼs time for us to leave her
