Oh, times were hard and the wages low |
| [00:04.75] |
Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| [00:07.59] |
I guess it’s time for us to go |
| [00:11.07] |
It’s time for us to leave her |
| [00:13.70] |
Beware these packet ships, I say |
| [00:17.29] |
Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| [00:19.87] |
They’ll steal your stores and your clothes away |
| [00:23.37] |
It’s time for us to leave her |
| [00:25.95] |
There’s Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat |
| [00:29.70] |
Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| [00:32.22] |
And Yankee John, the pocket rat |
| [00:35.41] |
It’s time for us to leave her |
| [00:37.93] |
She would not wear and she would not stay |
| [00:41.73] |
Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| [00:44.30] |
She shipped great seas both night and day |
| [00:47.65] |
It’s time for us to leave her |
| [00:49.97] |
Its rotten beef and waverly bread |
| [00:53.92] |
Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| [00:56.44] |
It was pump or drown, the old man said |
| [00:59.48] |
It’s time for us to leave her |
| [01:02.31] |
The sails all furled, our work is done |
| [01:05.70] |
Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| [01:08.18] |
And now ashore we’ll take our run |
| [01:11.46] |
It’s time for us to leave her |
| [01:13.63] |
Oh, what will us poor shellbacks do |
| [01:17.48] |
Leave her, Johnny, leave her |
| [01:19.61] |
Our money’s gone, more work to do |
| [01:23.15] |
It’s time for us to leave her |
