LEAVE HER JOHNNY (3) O the times are hard and the wages low, Leave her, Johnny, leave her! I think it's time for us to go! An' it's time for us to leave her! Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! For the voyage is done an' the winds don't blow, An' it's time for us to leave her! The work was hard and the voyage long The seas were high and the gales were strong O I thought I heard the old man say, Tomorrow ye will get your pay! Now it’s time for to say goodbye The old pier head is quickly drawing nigh You may make her fast and pack her gear And leave her moored to the West Street pier Leave her, Johnny, we’ll leave her now for good In a ruddy short time we’ll be out of the wood Oh Captain, now you are gonna lose your crew We’ve had enough of the ship, the grub, and you The sails are furled and our work is done And now on shore we’ll have some fun The rats have gone and we the crew It’s time, by God, that we went too Now I thought I hear the old man say, Just one more pull an' then belay.
