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.

[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.

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.
