“Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her” - Stan Rogers
Nice depressing sea shanty to get you through the day…
Besides, Stan Roger’s voice is positively angelic.
“I thought I heard the old man say,
Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
It’s a long hard pull to the next payday,
And it’s time for us to leave her…For the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow
And it’s time for us to leave her…There was rotten meat and moldy bread,
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
You’d eat it or you’d starve to death…Well, it’s time for us to say goodbye,
Leave her, Johnny, leave her,
For now those pumps are all pumped dry,
And it’s time for us to leave her…”
