Verse:
D                               G
Oh, the times were hard and the wages low,
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
  G                   D
I guess it's time for us to go,
         A              D
And it's time for us to leave her!


Verse:
D                   G
Beware these packet ships, I say!
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
        G                          D
They'll steal your stores and your clothes away
         A              D
And it's time for us to leave her!

A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her

Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
        G                       D

Verse:
D                            G
There's Liverpool Pat in his tarpaulin hat
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
    G               D
And Yankee John the pocket rat
         A              D
And it's time for us to leave her!

Verse:
D                               G
She would not wear and she would not stay
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
      G                       D
She's shipped great seas both night and day

And it's time for us to leave her!

A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her

Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
        G                       D
For the voyage is done, and the winds don't blow
         A              D
and it's time for us to leave her

Verse:
D                    G
It's rotten beef and weevil-y bread,
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
       G                 D
It was pump or drown the old man said,
         A              D
And it's time for us to leave her!

Verse:
D                          G
The sail's all furled, our work is done,
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
    G                D
And now ashore we'll take our rum
         A              D
And it's time for us to leave her!

Chorus:
A                  D
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
   G                  D
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
        G                       D
For the voyage is done, and the winds don't blow
