Cruel War |
| Oh the cruel war is raging |
| Your daddy must fight |
| And I know I will miss you |
| From morning till night |
| You cannot go with me |
| It grieves my heart so |
| You cannot go with me |
| Oh no my son no |
| For your waist is to slender |
| Your fingers to small |
| And your cheeks are to tender |
| To take the cannon-ball |
| They will give me shiny medals |
| They’ll call «the killing brave» |
| But I’d rather hold my darling son |
| Then fill a thousand graves |
