Leave Her Johnny Shanty
Oh, thought I heard the old man say
Leave 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 and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
She shipped it green an' none went by
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And 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
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and 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
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her
Laisse-la, Johnny
Oh, j'ai cru entendre le vieux dire
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Demain tu recevras ton salaire
Et il est temps de la laisser
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Oh laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Car le voyage est long et le vent ne souffle pas
Et il est temps de la laisser
Oh, le vent était mauvais et la mer était haute
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Elle a pris de l'eau et personne n'est passé
Et il est temps de la laisser
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Oh, laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Car le voyage est long et le vent ne souffle pas
Et il est temps de la laisser
Je déteste naviguer sur ce vieux tas de fer
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Pas de grog et de la nourriture pourrie
Et il est temps de la laisser
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Oh, laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Car le voyage est long et le vent ne souffle pas
Et il est temps de la laisser
On jure par habitude, faute de mieux
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Oh, maintenant on a fini, alors on va à terre
Et il est temps de la laisser
Laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Oh, laisse-la, Johnny, laisse-la
Car le voyage est long et le vent ne souffle pas
Et il est temps de la laisser
