A favorite of mine, this song of men fed up with their journey likely comes from the 19th century, and was first written down in 1917. It is a classic among sea shanty enthusiasts and folk musicians alike. This arrangement is from the late Stan Rogers and is by far my favorite. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
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"
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her!
Oh, the winds were foul and the work was hard
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
From the Liverpool dock to the London yard
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her!
Oh, the skipper was bad, but the mate was worse
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
He'd blow you down with a spike and a curse
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her!
It was rotten meat and moldy bread
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
You'd eat it or you'd starve to death
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her!
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
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow
And it's time for us to leave her!
I discovered Seth recently, and have to say that he's the most underrated folk musician on UA-cam. There are many folk and shanty singers/bands that I follow. All amazing and talented. But Seth's voice is probably the most unique and most gentle.
me too!!
“ Smooth”. is another description:)
110% agree
As always, Seth you have done a splendid job developing this cover! Amazing work mate! 👏 🙌
As always, thank you so much!
Sea shanties be the best form of music, mateys! I love studying and working to the tunes of the sea! ❤🌊🌊🌊⛵️⛵️⛵️
Such a strong, rich voice! Wonderful.
Thank you for continuing to share such beautiful music with the world, Seth! I listen to your songs throughout the day while puttering around the house. I sing along during the choruses. I’m not very good, but it lifts my spirits all the same.
Such a beautiful song. It really made me miss the ocean... Miss the spray of salt, the chill winds, and the screech of seagulls... Well done sir...
Only a voice with such a wide range of harmonics could create such a satisfying, 'complete' acapella sound. Beautiful rendering, as always, Seth. Even the very well-practised (yes, the spelling is a give-away) Irish accent doubles perfectly for an English West-Country accent), at least when singing.
Best AC4 song covered by the best lad
I really hope to see you one day on tour. great song.
This was the tune in AC4 that sucked me into the rabbit hole of maritime songs and shanties!! I love that you chose to sing a lot of the less popular verses that don't get covered often (at least as much as I've heard). Your voice is just something sweet and nostalgic to me. You could sing the owner's manual to a new blender and I'd absolutely be there for it, but I'm really glad it's shanties and folk tunes you've decided to share with us!
I hands down LOVE your version of Ramblin' Rover so if it were possible to get you to cover more Silly Wizard - in particular If I Was A Blackbird, I might just happily faint and die! =)
as always, Seth delivers. awaiting Wearing of the Green on an album oh so patiently.
Working on it!
Quelle belle voix vous avez. Irlandais incroyable régale..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seth just won't miss.
Hope this quality music blows up again and takes you to the top.
Phenomenal cover, Seth! If I may, a cover of Tillbury Town or Rolling Along by The Longest Johns would both be really cool to see from you!
Keep up the amazing work.
Better sea shanty doesn’t exist. It perfectly encapsulates the contradictions and passions of sea life. Her by the way is a ship not a woman
Indeed
@@sethstatonwatkins you are a great singer btw
Yes
Its really great to hear a more pure version. Usally you get a lots of background music and a little faster pasted song. So its really nice to hear a more vocal with little backup music.
Yet another rousing shanty, where I can't help but sing along. I listen to your music (and sing along) all the time when I do housework. Funny, how fast time flies then 😉
No doubt!
Sir you are simply amazing my mom and I love what you do. Please keep up the good work.
God man your voice is so perfect and heaven like in your vids! Keep up the good work!
Love it! You should do Hanging Johnny sometime. You have a good voice for it
I haven't even started the song yet and I'm so excited! I have been waiting for you to cover this song and I'm going to enjoy every note. Thank you Seth 😀
It was just so beautiful. The waves in the background was an amazing idea.
A lovely rendition of wonderful song! I'd been hoping you might sing this one.
Amazing work, as always!
Love this guy's singing! He is amazing!
Superb.
I love this song... 😁, very nice.
Well happy Friday to me! This is my favorite shanty and you’re quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. Thank you, thank you, sir!
This is my new favorite version of this shanty! Something about the way your voice mixes with the arrangement almost sounds like a set of pipes with a drone, absolute pleasure to listen to.
Love it! Still NEED A Leader on losing control 😊
Hell yeah! That's lit! ❤
Super cher monsieur ...c est très engagé,,,,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Masterpice❤
Many thanks!
Awesome, just awesome!!!
With such an impressive range, I'd love to see what you could do with "She's Always a Woman" or "Allentown" by Billy Joel. I know they aren't really in the same genre as some of the other songs you've covered, but they have a similar feel or tone, in my opinion. Either way, great job on this cover, Leave Her Johnny is one of my favorite shanties.
Another amazing cover, thank you
As great Seth been waiting for this one
