OhThe cruel war is raging, |
|
Johnny has to fight |
|
And I long to be with him from morning till night |
|
I long to be with him, it grieves my heart so |
|
Won't you let me come with you? |
|
No, my love no |
|
Tomorrow is |
|
Sunday, Monday is the day |
|
Your captain will call you and you must obey |
|
Your captain will call you, it grieves my heart so |
|
Won't you let me come with you? |
|
No, my love no, no, no, my love no |
|
No, no, my love, no |
|
But I could tie back my hair, men's clothing |
|
I'll put on |
|
And I could march as your comrade as we go along |
|
I could pass as your comrade, no one will ever know |
|
Won't you let me come with you? |
|
No, my love no |
|
Now Johnny, oh |
|
Johnny, I feel that you are unkind |
|
You know I love you far better than all of mankind |
|
Yes I love you far better than words could ever express |
|
Please won't you let me come with you? |
|
Yes, yes, my love, yes |
|
Oh yes, yes, yes |
|
So we marched into battle together side by side |
|
With hope in our hearts and love in our eyes |
|
And we marched onto victory to wear our bands of gold |
|
Did I ever love another? |
|
No, my love no, no, no, my love no |
|
No, no, my love no, no, no, my love no |
|
Will I ever love another? |
|
No, my love no |
