| One Friday afternoon at three o’clock
|
| A passing lady looked into a shop
|
| Her eyes lit up as this the sign she read
|
| Recruiting Office, that is what it said
|
| Excitedly she stepped inside to see
|
| How her sons would fare if they were military
|
| The man in charge to her was very sweet
|
| And said, «Please sign here on this little sheet»
|
| But when she got home, her mind drew many fears
|
| The message from the soldiers in the war rang in her ears
|
| Don’t put your boys in the army, Mrs. Ward
|
| You know they’ll only waste away, oh
|
| Don’t put your boys in the army, Mrs. Ward
|
| You know they’ll only waste away, oh
|
| At six o’clock the lads came home from work
|
| She told them what she’d done, they went berserk
|
| «We'll have to go to war and fight and die»
|
| And Mrs. Ward, she wiped a tear from her eye
|
| Don’t put your boys in the army, Mrs. Ward
|
| You know they’ll only waste away, oh
|
| Don’t put your boys in the army, Mrs. Ward
|
| You know they’ll only waste away, oh
|
| Don’t put your boys in the army, Mrs. Ward
|
| You know they’ll only waste away, oh oh
|
| Don’t put your boys in the army, Mrs. Ward
|
| You know they’ll only waste away, oh
|
| Don’t put your boys in the army, Mrs. Ward
|
| You know they’ll only waste away, oh |
