Oh, times were hard and the wages low,
âLeave her, Johnny, leave her.â
I guess itâs time for us to go.
âItâs time for us to leave her.â
Beware these packet ships, I say.
âLeave her, Johnny, leave her.â
Theyâll steal your stores and your clothes away.
âItâs time for us to leave her.â
Thereâs Liverpool Pat with his tarpaulin hat,
âLeave her, Johnny, leave her.â
And Yankee John, the pocket rat.
âItâs time for us to leave her.â
She would not wear and she would not stay,
âLeave her, Johnny, leave her.â
She shipped great seas both night and day.
âItâs time for us to leave her.â
Its rotten beef and waverly bread,
âLeave her, Johnny, leave her.â
It was pump or drown, the old man said.
âItâs time for us to leave her.â
The sails all furled, our work is done,
âLeave her, Johnny, leave her.â
And now ashore weâll take our run.
âItâs time for us to leave her.â
Oh, what will us poor shellbacks do?
âLeave her, Johnny, leave her.â
Our moneyâs gone, more work to do.
âItâs time for us to leave her.â
