Ives, Burl - Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her Lyrics
Oh, the times are hard and the wages low
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
I'll pack my bag and go below
It's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
It matters not if last or first
It's time for us to leave her
I'm a-getting' thin and a-growin' sad
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Since first I joined this woodenclad
It's time for us to leave her
I thought I heard the first mate say
"Just one more drag and then belay"
It's time for us to leave her
The work was hard and the voyage long:
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
The seas were high and the gales were strong
It's time for us to leave her
The sails are furled: our work is done
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
And now on shore we'll have some fun
It's time for us to leave her
It's time for us to leave her
It's time for us to leave her
