cruel war

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
That 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 comrad 
As we march along
I'll pass as your comrad
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 love you far better
Than all of mankind
I love you far better
Than words can e'er express
Won't you let me go with you 
Yes, my love, yes

Yes, my love, yes
