Oh I thought I heard the old man say
                 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
                             
It's a hard old pull to the next payday
                    
And it's time for us to leave her.

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


Now 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.

 [bad word] 


Now the skipper was bad but the mate was worse
                 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
                                     
He would cut you down with a swipe and a curse
                          
And it's time for us to leave her.


Now it was rotten meat and moldy bread
                 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
                                    
You would eat it or you would starve to death.
                    
Now it's time for us to leave her.

 [bad word] the chord pretty much after every time you pluck the notes
to get the fuller sound.
