The Cruel War Lyrics

The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight
I want to be with him from morning to night.
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so,
Wont 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,
Wont you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.
Ill tie back my hair, mens clothing Ill put on,
Ill pass as your comrade, as we march along.
Ill pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.
Wont 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 ere express
Wont you let me go with you?
Yes, my love, yes.
Yes, my love, yes.
