Leave her johnny shanty
Official pirate songLeave her, Johnny, leave her
Tomorrow ye will get your pay
An' it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long an the winds don't blow
An' its time for us to leave her
Oh the wind was foul an the sea ran high
Leave her, johnny, leave her
She shipped it green an' none went by
An' it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her
I hate to sail on this rotten tub
Leave her, johnny, leave her
No grog allowed and rotten grub
An' it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long an' the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her
We swear by rote for want o' more
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh now we're through so we'll go on shore
An' it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh leave her, johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long the winds don't blow
An' it's time for us to leave her
