Tommy Makem Leave Her Johnny
Oh, I thought I heard the old man say
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
It's a long, hard pull to the next pay day
And it's time for us to leave her
Chorus:
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
Oh, pull you lubbers or you'll get no pay
Oh, pull you lubbers and then be lay
Oh the skipper was bad, but the mate was worse
He'd blow you down with a spite and a curse
And I thought I heard the old man say
It's a long, hard pull to the next pay day
