Leander Macumber, Cheverie Nova Scotia, 1948

lyrics

Leave Her Johnny Leave Her - Leander Macumber [:29]
AC: 2252 - MF NO: 289.231

Recorded: Cheverie, 1948. “Leander MacCumber ... aged 70; has been a sailor and farmer and just about everything in city and country; sang for a while in Billy Sunday’s choir.”

___ leaky ship and a lousy crew,
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
A leaky ship and a lousy crew,
Its time for us to leave her.

Leave her now or leave her never,
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh, leave her now or leave her never,
Leave her Johnny, leave her.
