T-SHIRTS !!!! https://seandagher.bandcamp.com/merch • https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seandagher • This one is very well-known and I've sung it before, so I'm doing a new version with completely different verses. There exist dozens of verses so I've chosen a few different ones that I like a lot. • You can get the songs at https://seandagher.bandcamp.com/releases. • You can support the Shanty of the Week at / seandagher • Thanks to Patreon supporters Dennis Wiscount, Arcspel, Vlad Nical, Mike Carr, Erik Twombly, Gravel, Matt Werner, Aleksander Wasser, Cooper Chassé, and Graham Greve, Tom Liacas, Robert Nunn, Cameron Cole. • https://bit.ly/DonationSOTW • Leave Her, Johnny - Lyrics • 1. Oh my poor old mother, she wrote to me. • She wrote me to come home from sea. • 2. Beware those packet ships, I say. • For they'll steal your stores and your clothes away. • 3. Oh I hope that you will never be, • In a gallows hell, the likes of she. • 4. We were made to pump all night and day, • And we half-dead had beggar-all to say. • 5. The Old Man swears, and the mate swears, too. • The whole crew swears and so would you. • 6. We'll make her fast and stow our gear. • For the girls are waiting on the pier. • 7. We've all grown old and weak and sad. • From too many years on this wooden-clad. • 8. Come sing, me bullies, this farewell song. • If you sing it right, the work won't take long.
