Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier |
| There she sits on Buttermilk Hill |
| Oh, who could blame her cryin' her fill |
| Every tear would turn a mill |
| Jonny has gone for a soldier |
| Me-oh-my she loved him so |
| It broke her heart just to see him go |
| Only time will heal her woe |
| Johnny has gone for a soldier |
| She sold her rock and she sold her reel |
| She sold her only spinning wheel |
| To buy her love a sword of steel |
| Johnny has gone for a soldier |
| She’ll dye her dress, she’ll dye it red |
| And in the streets go begging for bread |
| The one she loves from her has fled |
| Johnny has gone for a soldier |
| Johnny has gone for a soldier… |
