LYRICS
Well, I thought I heard the old man say
Leave her, Johnny, leave her
It's a long, hard pull til your next pay day
And it's time for us to leave her
Chorus:
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……
He would cut you down with a spike or a curse…… Chorus
Oh, pull you lubbers or you'll get no pay…….
Oh, pull you lubbers and then be lay…… Chorus
Ah well, now it’s time for to say goodbye.….;
Those pilings they are drawing nigh.….. Chorus x2

Lol
Literally just watched that and this was recommended lol
I would definately drink with these guys.
🤣
Fun fact: This song was traditionally sung at the end of the final journey when the ship was docked at port. The "her" that you hear in the song is actually the ship, not a woman.
This makes the song surprisingly wholesome. Thanks.
It’s all in the way the song was sung to each man you can’t define one song to an entire world each means something different to every man woman or child so the ship is a her so the loved is a him or her it’s the words that need to hit home and home is where the heart is
You may think you leave your ship, but you never really leave do. I remember her smell, the sound of her engines, the taste of the sea air, and the hours she and I spent gazing into an endless horizon watching blue sky and blue water dance their eternal ballet beneath a silent audience of stars.
Thats kinda sad and regretly...😢
@@robertkeeton38 Christ that was poetic.
To all those asking "why are there so many new comments?" Heres your answer, pirates never forget where the gold is.
Good reply
Very wise captain
Aye Captain!
Aye aye Captain
Hats off to you Cap'n that was with no doubt one of the best comments ever
You weren’t recommended this. You looked it up. Good shit my fellow sea chanty enjoyers
I searched for jim mageean, he is an old friend of my father. I met him in newcastle when i was under 10 years old so i didnt experience much of it. I do remember how he gave me a fucking penny and i was abled to get loads of candy. I was so surprised.
Edit: this does not relate to anything here lol
You right
I was recommended it.
@@tjallevanderwal8031 good story all the same

It’s about a boat not a girl which is the funny part
I feel this
0.75 x Speed = Prayer
Normal Speed = Haunting
1.25 x Speed = 'Normal'
1.5 x Speed = Jaunty
1.75 x Speed = Jig
2 x Speed = Techno
0.5 speed = 5 am at the pub
Nicely put. Actually tried all of the speeds after seeing this. All of them really fitting
Big brain
@@warwerewolf777 have it on 1.75X Speed. Holy crap so awesome🤩🤯
Let's all be honest, we all wish we were there singing with them

Aye
Lets be real the algorithm didn’t bring you here. You looked for it. And must I say welcome lads, stay and rest for we are all weary.
i saw it on instagram
Your God damn right
Actually, the algorithm did recommend this to me for no reason. And tbh I ain't complaining
Aye. You right

You’re too lame for friends, nerd.
I love how every now and again when I search up this video I continuously find comments that are a few days old, that does put a smile on my face

Thank you for the nostalgia

seeing all these new comments that were posted within the last week makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one coming back to watch this
Right this minute :)
We’re still getting new comments
I hope me and the boys will be like them in the future

@@Yourmomsboyfriend666 Well said! :)
Look at your life and what you want to do with it.
Quarantine made us all listen to this on the same day.
And I'll raise a glass to that 🤙💯
Wait wtf I didn't even notice until you said that!!
Every cloud
This will be famous now with the shantytok craze.
this is what brotherhood looks like. life goals.
Guess all of us were just listening to shanties recently huh

@@Lazar2401 A legendary game indeed. I'm just hoping one day they will release the remastered version of the game with just better performance on pc. O i pozdrav brate. :)
9 years late, but this was truly beautiful.
The harmonies at the very end of 2:03 sounded perfect
That’s what I was thinking!
Love how they casually mumble at the end like "yeah was alright, that, yeah"
Delighted to reach the 50k mark. Thanks to everyone for listening, liking, sharing and subscribing. Cheers
Its an amazing song :)
Wonderful rendition, gentlemen!
Do any of you know any of the history of this song, except that it was often sung as a pump song? Or a link where I could read more? I'm doing my best, but it's hard to find reliable information. Thanks!
Your voices are amazing but the quality of the video is not that good, Your voices deserve more respect than that and better mics ;)
Cola and meal please no bread Agreed. The fact that they're able to sound this blended with this crappy a microphone is simply amazing.
Deck Jacobson You aint wrong there :)
Did anyone else get chills when they started singing in harmony?
So natural.
The recent resurgence of sea shanties have led me to treasures like this like a true pirate
as a regular sea shanties listener, there's many more treasures for you to discover. happy sailing!
I like the general sense of agreement that it was a banger in the end of the clip
That was my favorite part of this rendition.
such a shame we don't sing much together as communities these days. there is something really special about people singing together, their traditional songs.
should come to a pub in a costal town . you'll hear it alot .
you need to find some folk clubs
❤
The creaks from the chairs sound like creaking from a pirate ship.
This video was ahead of its time
hope all these men are doing well.
Is it just me or is there somebody else who rather give up 10 years of live, to have bunch of friends sitting around the table to sing a song like this together when we getting old?
Me too
I yearn for the day I can find friends like that, honestly. It must be nice
Many yearn for what feels is impossible, but few have the strength and integrity to make it a future
@@swerveofhelex3717 Thank you, I like that one!
already did something like this with 5 friends, we sang The Parting Glass lol we were pretty drunk. what we thought sounded good a sober friend said we sounded terrible
Legends say Johnny still hasn’t left her.
He'll go in the end Sketrikz
The mumbles of acknowledgment right at the end... fantastic.
Just lost my Uncle Johnny today, this beautiful song and harmonies is a comfort
I’m sorry for you loss brother. Love you❤️
Rip man
Amen sir... He is hearing beautiful harmonies for eternity. You will see him soon mate, all in the Lord's due time. Steve Cihomsky...
RIP Uncle Johnny! Having a drink now in his honour.❤️
My condolences my friend.
Everyone was recommended this video at the same time
Na I searched
Guy hitting the high notes gives it all a nice edge.
I love the end...they openly "discuss" how well it went in a series of grunts and vocal gutteral emminations
I know this is a decade plus ago ... but it's one of the most beautiful things I've heard.
7 guys sitting around a table singing like it's nothing when it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. My heart is FULL.
Listening to this literally brought me to tears. So beautiful.
Found this video last week and thought the same. Just wonderful
Thanks, Kenway.
He was a good Pirate
Andy Chin aye mate cheers captain kenway may the seas bring you to your home
want to hear this in a bar with a pint in hand singing with the boys
Much respect to the tenor who didn't try to overpower but added perfectly
Her: He's probably cheating on me right this second
Him: Singing sea shanties with the boys
Hahah leave her Johnny hahahahaha 😆
So true my bro
Hype up the boys always, women will respect you for being a strong man..
We appreciate all the positive feedback, folks. Keep listening and enjoying it. Cheers

When the lads get together, culture ensues.
Just 7 guys drinking around a table singing some sea shanties. This is what it’s all about.
Agreed
When me and the boys reunite after quarantine
XDDDD
I love the fact that they dont put on costumes and an act and that they treat the music primarily as a serious work of art and not a part of a pirate gimmick. I feel like thats a very dignified and mature approach and the result highlights the emotional content of the song.
Imagine being the one mate who can’t sing. Just sitting out of frame thinking “they do this shit every weekend”
Me n the boys in 40 years
These lads actually deserve to do real studio recordings. This version is simply incredible.
I joined the tall ship Duyfken in Fremantle in 2014 and spent the next 7-8 years as crew. In 2020 the ship left the west for eastern shores due to covid and I couldn't follow. I must've listened to this song/clip a hundred times while drowning my sorrows. Then a couple months ago I was invited to fly to Sydney to join the crew again to sail Sydney to Hobart for the ntional wooden boat (tall ship) festival. I spent 4 glorious weeks as crew again. A week shake down, 10 days at sea and another week at the festival. Flew back home a few days ago and while I'm happy it happened, I find myself listening to this song again on repeat. Till next time Duyfken.
We recently watched the ships Pass in Review (army term) at the Festival of Tall Ships in Galveston (APR 2023). In fact, we got to see them three times. They passed by where we were on the Sea Wall, and turned to come back. Then we moved to the park on Pelican Island and watched them come through the back-bay to the docks.
I wish me and the bois go vibin like this 50 yrs from now
Just imagine best friends for basicly all your lives and how your in your 60s still best friends but spread apart the world and once a year you get see each other and this is what they do when there all getting to get back to the plane and go see the there family's again. This was a good life
Reminded me of when my dad, his brothers (my uncle's) and my grandfathers would get together and talk about their time at sea. My dad was a Merchant Marine.

So everyone is getting recommended this. Nice. Time to get the boys round for rehearsal.

My fave part is right at the end. All the men just go "yeah not bad". They knew it was satisfactory but they were also humble.
the lyrics hit 10x harder when u find out it’s about a ship

I still do I’ve literally bought on every console I’m able to
that game was when the franchise truly started to separate from its escence and later become the crap of the last 3 games. but still, it was nice. a nice mechanic that should have never had been revisited.
@@elessal it was a great game. It was not an assassin’s creed game. The new games are neither great games nor assassins creed games
god, this video game crap turns me stomach! aint any of you actually sailed an actual square rigger?! nobody can talk shit unless they have. THEN you will understand the sorrow of being stuck on this godammed land that is being spoken of in this shantey.
I know this isn't about a break up but listening to this after one hits differently.
She was like an old and broken ship, but she was beautiful. Such a shame I have to let go. Let's drink, lads.

My memory of this song goes back more than 30 years. My parents play in an Irish folk band, still together 3 decades later, too. I've seen/heard them play this song countless times over the years, but it always brings me back to when I was a kid, sitting at the top of the stairs, listening to them practice in the basement with the band. 6 years might feel like a long time to you now, but wait till you hit 30.
Now these are the neighbors i can handle listening to everyday 😊😊😊😊🙂🙂😃😃😃😃😁😁😁😁
I enjoyed the general mumbling of approval at the end.
So did i.
Side note for all new comers...
Though this song has dual meaning, (A sailor leaving his loved one/Love of the Ship he sailed) Singing this shanty before hitting dock was considered Mutiny. They would all sing this as they leave the ship ("Her" being the ship), and singing it prior to hitting dock was saying you were done.
Long live Edward Kenway!
