Leave Her Johnny
O the work was hard and the wages low, Leave her, Johnny, leave her. I guess it’s time for us to go, And it’s time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! O the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow, And it’s time for us to leave her!
O I thought I heard the old man say, Leave her, Johnny, leave her. O tomorrow you will get your pay, And it’s time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! O the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow, And it’s time for us to leave her!
The winds blew foul and the seas run high, Leave her, Johnny, leave her. We shipped em’ green and none went by, And it’s time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! O the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow, And it’s time for us to leave her!
The night was a buckle and the old man a’turg, Leave her, Johnny, leave her. And the bosun was a beggar with a middle name of work, And it’s time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! O the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow, And it’s time for us to leave her!
The old man swears and the night swears too, Leave her, Johnny, leave her. The crew will swear and so would you, And it’s time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! O the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow, And it’s time for us to leave her!
Their starboard pump is like the crew, Leave her, Johnny, leave her. It’s all worn out and will not do, And it’s time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! O the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow, And it’s time for us to leave her!
The rats have gone and we the crew, Leave her, Johnny, leave her. It’s time they damned’ that we went too! And it’s time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! O the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow, And it’s time for us to leave her!
Well I pray that we shall ne’er more see, Leave her, Johnny, leave her. A hungry ship the likes of she! And it’s time for us to leave her. Leave her, Johnny, leave her! Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her! O the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow, And it’s time for us to leave her.
A Pirate’s Life for Me….
The Drunken Scotsman
Don’t Forget Yer Old Shipmate is a navel traditional song that was very popular among British Royal Navy sailors during the Napoleonic Era, roughly 1799 to 1815. In it, a ship’s gunner says goodbye to his best friend at the end of their tour of duty together. It continues to be a favorite of sailors and can still be heard on British Navy ships today.
A portion of this shanty is sung by Captain Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) and the officers of the H.M.S. Surprise in the movie “Master and Commander – The Far Side of the World”

Drunken Sailor
What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Early in the morning!
Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Early in the morning!
Put him in a long boat till his sober, Put him in a long boat till his sober, Put him in a long boat till his sober, Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Early in the morning!
Stick him in a barrel with a hosepipe on him, Stick him in a barrel with a hosepipe on him, Stick him in a barrel with a hosepipe on him, Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Early in the morning!
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter, Put him in the bed with the captains daughter, Put him in the bed with the captains daughter, Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Early in the morning!
Thats what we do with a drunken sailor, Thats what we do with a drunken sailor, Thats what we do with a drunken sailor, Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Way hay and up she rises, Early in the morning!

Modern Shanty Sing Along
Lyrics: We’ll be singing When we’re winning We’ll be singing
4x I get knocked down But I get up again You’re never gonna keep me down
Pissing the night away Pissing the night away
He drinks a whisky drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that remind him Of the better times
“Oh Danny Boy Danny Boy Danny Boy…”
4x I get knocked down But I get up again You’re never gonna keep me down
Pissing the night away Pissing the night away
He drinks a whisky drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that remind him Of the better times
“Don’t cry for me Next door neighbour…”
16x I get knocked down But I get up again You’re never gonna keep me down
We’ll be singing When we’re winning We’ll be singing
