The cruel war is raging, johnny has to fight<br>I want to be with him from morning to night.<br>I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so,<br>Won't you let me go with you? <br>No, my love, no.<br><br>Tomorrow is sunday, monday is the day<br>That your captain will call you and you must obey.<br>Your captain will call you it grieves my heart so,<br>Won't you let me go with you? <br>No, my love, no.<br><br>I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on,<br>I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along.<br>I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.<br>Won't you let me go with you? <br>No, my love, no.<br><br>Oh johnny, oh johnny, I fear you are unkind<br>I love you far better than all of mankind.<br>I love you far better than words can e're express<br>Won't you let me go with you? <br>Yes, my love, yes.<br><br>Yes, my love, yes.
