1931        Carpenter, James M. "Life Before the Mast: A Chantey Log." _New York Times_ (19 July 1931).

One of the articles in which Carpenter presented his material. However, he doesn't attribute the verses to any particular informant. Many are ideal or composite versions, and he did use secondary sources, too. Here is what he gives for Leave Her, Johnny:

The work was hard, the voyage long,
Leave her, Johnnie, leave her!
The seas were high, the gales were strong,
It's time for us to leave her!

The skipper's name was Bully Brown,
If you looked at him, he would knock you down,

The first verse is more or less the same as one in Davis & Tozer's collection.
