| The army and the navy
|
| They never will agree
|
| 'Til all the men and all the boys
|
| Are gone from my country
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| The proud and the powerful
|
| In whose hands we lie
|
| They never will be pleasured
|
| 'Til all our women cry
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| The mastery and the misery
|
| They call the art of war
|
| Must never try and form a peace
|
| As it has done before
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| The army and the navy
|
| They never will agree
|
| 'Til all the men and all the boys
|
| Are gone from this country
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| Don’t you go Don’t you go, my son
|
| Please don’t go Don’t go, my son |
