LEAVE HER JOHNNY
Sea Shanty. Trad.
6 6 4 5 6 6 7 -7 -6 6 5 4
Oh the times were hard and the wag-es low,
-4 -4 -4 4 5 6
Leave her ,John-ny leave her
6 6 -6 -6 6 5 5 -5 6 5
And I think its time for us to go,
4 -4 5 5 6 4 -4 4
And its time for us to leave her,
-4 -4 -4 4 5 6
Leave her, John-ny leave her
7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6 5 6
Oh its leave her John-ny leave her,
6 6 -6 -6 -6 6
Cause’ the voy-age is done
5 5 -5 6 5
And the winds don’t blow,
4 -4 5 5 5 -4 -4 4
And its time for us to leave her.
For more verses go to Mudcat.
This shanty was sung at the end of a voyage.
I used to sail on a sail training ship and the
permanent crew used to sing this as a crew of stroppy
kids finished their voyage.They used to sob
there hearts out. Terry.
