[Chorus]
ALeave her, Johnny, Dleave her,
Oh, Gleave her, Johnny, Dleave her.
For the Gvoyage is Ddone and the Gwinds don't Bmblow,
and it's Dtime for us to Aleave Dher.
DNow the winds were foul anGd the work Dwas hard,
ALeave her, Johnny, Dleave her.
From tGhe LiverpooDl docks tGo the LondoDn yard,
and It's Dtime for us to lAeave Dher.

ALeave her, Johnny, Dleave her,
Oh, Gleave her, Johnny, Dleave her.
For the Gvoyage is Ddone and the Gwinds don't Bmblow,
