1. [A]Oh I thought I heard the old man say
[E]Leave her, Johnny, [E]leave her.
It's a [D]hard old [A]pull to the next [F#m]payday
And it's [A]time for [E]us to [A]leave her.
 
{soc}
[E]Leave her, Johnny,[A]leave her
Oh [D]leave her, Johnny,[A]leave her.
Oh the [D]voyage is [A]done and the winds don't [F#m]blow
And it's [A]time for [E]us to [A]leave her.
{eoc}
 
Now the winds were foul and the work was hard / From the Liverpool docks to the London yard

Now the skipper was bad but the mate was worse / He would cut you down with a swipe and a curse
 
Now it was rotten meat and moldy bread / You would eat it or you would starve to death.
 
Now it's time for us to say farewell / For now those pumps are all pumped dry.
