The Cruel War Lyrics

The Cruel War is raging,
Johnny has to fight.
I want to be with him,
From morning till night.
I want to be with him,
It grieves my heart so.
Won't you let me go with you.
No, my love, no.
Tomorrow is Sunday,
Monday is the day.
Your Captain will call you,
And you must obey.
Your Captain will call you.
It grieves my heart so.
Won't you let me go with you.
No my love, no.
I'll tie back my hair,
Men's clothing I'll put on.
I'll pass as your comrade,
As we march along.
I'll pass as your comrade,
No one will ever know.
Won't you let me go with you,
No my love, no.
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny,
I fear you are unkind.
I loved you far better than all of mankind.
I loved you far better than words can e'er express.
Why won't you let me go with you?
Yes, my love, yes.

La, la la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la

Yes, my love, yes........
