 I~- thought I heard the Old Man say:
-4    -4   -4   4   5  6   6
"Leave her, Johnny, le-ave her."
 7 -7-6-6   6  5   -5  -5    5
 To~omorrow ye will get your pay,
 4  -4   5    5   5 -4 -4     4
 and its time for us to leave her.

 Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
 7-7 -6    -6   -6   6   6     5
 O~h, leave her, Johnny, leave her!
 5   6  -6     -6  6    5   5  -5    -5     5
 For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
 4  -4   5    5   5 -4 -4     4
 and its time for us to leave her.

 Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high

 Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
 7-7-6      -6  6     5  -5   -5    5
 She shipped it green and none went by.
