Info! You seem to have navigated to a song, these are still accessible, but you shouldn't see any links on my site to here. I have depricated storing lyrics on this site, party due to zero click google searches increasing, and me providing little value with a large time investment required. You can find all kinds of lyrics in various sea shanty books.
Leave Her Johnny
[Solo]
O the times are hard and the wages low
[Chorus]
Leave her Johnny leave her
[Solo]
O the times are hard and the wages low
[Chorus]
It's time for us to leave her
[Solo]
The bread is hard and the beef is salt
[Chorus]
Leave her Johnny leave her
[Solo]
O, a leaking ship and a harping crew
[Chorus]
It's time for us to leave her
[Solo]
Our mate he is a bully man
He gives us all the best he can
[Chorus]
Leave her Johnny leave her
[Solo]
I've got no money, I've got no clothes
[Chorus]
It's time for us to leave her
[Solo]
O, my old mother she wrote me
[Chorus]
Leave her Johnny leave her
[Solo]
I will send you money, I will send you clothes
[Chorus]
It's time for us to leave her
