Johnny's Gone for a Soldier |
| Oh I wish I were on yonder hill |
| It’s there I’d sit and cry my fill |
| 'Til every tear would turn a mill |
| My Johnny’s gone for a soldier |
| Well, Johnny, my love, he went away |
| He would not heed what I did say |
| He won’t be back for many’s a day |
| My Johnny’s gone for a soldier |
| Shule, shule, shule a gra |
| Oh shule, oh shule and he loves me |
| When he comes back, he will marry me |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
| I’ll sell my rack, I’ll sell my reel |
| I’ll sell my only spinning wheel |
| And buy my love a sword of steel |
| My Johnny’s gone for a soldier |
| I’ll dye my petticoat, I’ll dye it red |
| Around the world I’ll bake my bread |
| 'Til I find my love alive or dead |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
| Shule, shule, shule a gra |
| Oh shule, oh shule and he loves me |
| When he comes back, he will marry me |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
| But now my love, he has gone to France |
| To try his fortune to advance |
| If he returns, it is but a chance |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
| Shule, shule, shule a gra |
| Oh shule, oh shule and he loves me |
| When he comes back, he will marry me |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
| I wish, I wish, I wish in vain |
| I wish I had my heart again |
| 'Tis gladly I would not complain |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
| Shule, shule, shule a gra |
| Oh shule, oh shule and he loves me |
| When he comes back, he will marry me |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
| Shule, shule, shule a gra |
| Oh shule, oh shule and he loves me |
| When he comes back, he will marry me |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
| My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier |
