| Gone away to fight the war
|
| Gone just like his daddy-o!
|
| Gone away to fight the war
|
| It’s such a terrible shame-o!
|
| The man who owns the bookstore
|
| Has gone to fight the war
|
| His father went before him
|
| But this doesn’t stop him
|
| And he never stands for his rights
|
| He’s been told to, so he’ll go and fight
|
| He may lose his life but he won’t think that
|
| The man who owns the bookstore
|
| Don’t know what he’s in for
|
| Thinks that he’s a coward… but he tries…
|
| And who’s to wonder why?
|
| Yes who’s to wonder why?
|
| Gone away to fight the war
|
| Gone just like his daddy-o!
|
| Gone away to fight the way
|
| It’s such a terrible shame-o!
|
| The man who is a human
|
| Ruled by another human
|
| To kill another human… if he can survive then!
|
| But who’s to wonder why?
|
| Yes who’s to wonder why? |
