D                         G         D 
Oh, I thought I heard the old man say, 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her. 
      G          D        G          D 
It's a long hard pull to the next payday, 
         D               A    D 
and It's time for us to leave her. 

 
A D Leave her, Johnny, leave her, G D Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her. G D G Bm For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow, D A D and it's time for us to leave her. D G D Now the winds were foul and the work was hard, A D Leave her, Johnny, leave her. G D G D From the Liverpool docks to the London yard, D A D and It's time for us to leave her.
D G D Now the skipper was bad but the mate was worse, A D Leave her, Johnny, leave her. G D G D He would cut you down with a swipe and a curse, D A D and it's time for us to leave her. D G D Now it was rotten meat and moldy bread, A D Leave her, Johnny, leave her. G D G D You would eat it or you would starve to death, D A D And it's time for us to leave her. D G D Now it's time for us to say farewell, A D Leave her, Johnny, leave her. G D G D For now those pumps are all pumped dry, D A D And it's time for us to leave her.
