Leave Her Johnny
Sean Dagher Nils Brown & Michiel Schrey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought I heard the Old Man say
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her"
Tomorrow ye will get your pay
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

Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
She shipped it 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
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
And it′s time for us to leave her

I hate to sail on this rotten tub
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
No grog allowed and rotten grub
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

We swear by rote for want of more
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
But now we're through so we′ll go on shore
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

Overall Meaning

"Leave Her Johnny" is a sea-shanty, a type of work song that was popular among sailors during the age of sail. The shanty was traditionally sung during the task of "bunting the bag" or stowing the anchor cable away. The lyrics tell the story of a ship and its crew that are preparing to set sail once again. The "Old Man" (captain) tells the crew to leave her (the ship) as tomorrow they will receive their pay and they must leave her behind. The voyage is long and the winds are not blowing, making it a difficult journey.

The crew complains about the state of the ship, saying that the wind is foul, the sea is rough, and the ship is "rotten." They also mention that they are given no grog (alcohol) and are fed "rotten grub" (bad food). The crew swears by rote (automatically reciting a pledge or oath) because they have no other choice, but they are happy to leave the ship behind and go ashore.

The song is an example of how sailors used music to make their work more enjoyable and to boost morale during long voyages. The melody is simple and easy to remember, allowing the crew to sing together and keep a steady rhythm while working. The lyrics convey the hardships and frustrations of life at sea, but also the camaraderie and loyalty that existed among sailors.

I first heard these songs while preparing to go on a voyage across the north sea, on a ship. We were singing these shanties while pulling rope, setting sails and hoisting the anchor, in full storm no mind you. Finally we sang Leave her Johnny when we were entering harbour.

The experience has really stuck with me, i can understand why sailors really identified with their occupation.

Good grief. I can't believe I only just found this. 6 years ago, a 14 year old me played this song on repeat nearly 600 times because of how taken back I was by your voices. Came back to it over and over again through the years. I finished playing through AC4 again about a week ago, and yet again your voices - and this song in particular - was caught in my head. Honestly, your voices helped me through a lot of anxiety over the years - so I'm really glad to have actually found you lads and been given a chance to say thanks. So... thanks!

@skinnykiddou

Duke Of Odd abandoned the game at around halfway at the end of 2015, came back in the summer of ‘19. Yes, man, the voices were so soothing, and the fact how they could convey melody without instrumental music is stunning... Love it!

I'm 6 years later, and yet, let's just leave her. The voyage is long, and it's time to leave her. Greetings from Brazil. This song and you guys are amazing.

@dk-fk4xm

I was browsing Reddit and one thing led to another. Now I'm here. I was trying to relax and relieve stress, but instead a part of my soul was healed. Thank you. Black Flag was a heartache to play. Now I think it's because of this song.

Damn do i love Sean Dagher's voice. It is so distinguishable from an entire crowd. He is by far the best part of my experience with AC4. Hearing his voice takes me back to a simpler time. Sean, never stop doing what you are doing.

Beautiful. Spent many an hour singing along sailing away. Came back to the game recently to re live it. Thank you Sean and the boys for the most memorable music of our childhoods.

For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow, and it's time for us to leave her.

I swear I come back here every year 😂😂 I love the assassin’s creed Black flag just because of this song. Whenever I sailed with my boat, I always took the longer route to listen to this sailor's song over and over again.
Thank u sir
