Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier Lyrics

There she sits on b***ermilk Hill
Oh, who could blame her cryin' her fill
Every tear would turn a mill
Johnny 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
