Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
                G                         D                    G                         D  
It's a long hard pull to the next payday,

For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,

and it's time for us to leave her.
D                                                                 G                      D

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,
A                                              D  
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
                G                         D                    G                         D  
You would eat it or you would starve to death,

And it's time for us to leave her.

For now those pumps are all pumped dry,

And it's time for us to leave her.
