The Cruel War |
| The 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 |
