Mitch & Mickey - Ballad Of Bobby And June lyrics

rate me

This is the story of Bobby and June<br />

A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon<br />

But they fell in love to the sound of guns<br />

The year was 1861<br />

<br />

The army came looking for men to recruit<br />

Dressin’ boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits<br />

"Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb", they said<br />

You’ll come back a hero or you’ll come back dead<br />

<br />

Stay with me, Bobby<br />

Don’t go away from me now<br />

I want you say that you love me<br />

Don’t go away from me now<br />

I want you to stay<br />

<br />

Now Bobby, he marched to the eye of the storm<br />

The blue coats were falling, the blood was still warm<br />

A battle was raging and the only thing in his eyes<br />

Was the thought of his June and making it home alive<br />

<br />

His army outnumbered, they started to run<br />

When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun<br />

And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain<br />

He knew that he never and ever would see June again<br />

<br />

Stay with me, Bobby<br />

Don’t go away from me now<br />

I want you say that you love me<br />

Don’t go away from me now<br />

I want you to stay<br />

<br />

It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound<br />

Of someone approaching their boots scraping on the ground<br />

As she looked out the window her heart pounded in her breast<br />

A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest<br />

<br />

She ran out to help ease his pain<br />

He looked up and whispered her name<br />

Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled<br />

When he heard his June say<br />

<br />

Stay with me, Bobby<br />

Don’t go away from me now<br />

I want you say that you love me<br />

Don’t go away from me now<br />

I want you to stay<br />

I want you to stay
