The Cruel War Lyrics

Oh The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight And I long to be with him from morning till night I long to be with him, it grieves my heart so Won't you let me come 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 come with you? No, my love no, no, no, my love no No, no, my love, no
But I could tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on And I could march as your comrade as we go along I could pass as your comrade, no one will ever know Won't you let me come with you? No, my love no
Now Johnny, oh Johnny, I feel that you are unkind You know I love you far better than all of mankind Yes I love you far better than words could ever express Please won't you let me come with you? Yes, yes, my love, yes Oh yes, yes, yes
So we marched into battle together side by side With hope in our hearts and love in our eyes And we marched onto victory to wear our bands of gold Did I ever love another? No, my love no, no, no, my love no No, no, my love no, no, no, my love no Will I ever love another? No, my love no
