Leave Her Johnny Leave Her Lyrics by Kimber’s Men

Don’t Take The Heroes

2006

[Verse 1]
Oh, I thought I heard the Old Man say
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her"
Oh, It's time to come and get your pay
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 2]
Ah, the winds blew hard and the seas road high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, she shipped it green and none went by
[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 3]
It's mahogany beef and it's weevils in your bread
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, I wish old "Crackerhash Joe' was dead
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 4]
Ah, the mate is a bucko and the old man is a Turk
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
And the bosun is a bastard with the middle name of work
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 5]
Oh, she's parish bound and she's parish rigged
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
And the whole damn crew is fever stric't
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Verse 6]
Now the rats have gone and we the crew
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, it's time by Christ that we went too
And it's time for us to leave her
[Chorus]
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
[Fade out]
