Leave her, Johnny, leave her 
        G        D           G         D

Leave her, Johnny, leave her

And it's time for us to leave her 


D                                   G       D 
And we'll leave her tight and we'll leave her trim 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her 
    G         D      G      D 
And heave the hungry packet in

Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her with a grin 
A                  D 
Leave her, Johnny, leave her 
            G      D      G            D 
For there's many a worser we've sailed in

For the old pier-head's a-drawing nigh

And it's time for us to leave her
