SOL MIm LAm SIm
The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight
DO LAm SOL DO SOL
I want to be with him from morning till night.
MIm LAm SIm
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so.
DO LAm
Won't you let me go with you?
SOL DO SOL
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 comrade as we march along.
I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.
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.
They marched into battle, she never left his side
'Til a bullet shell struck her and love was denied
A bullet shell struck her, tears came to Johnny's eyes
As he knelt down beside her, she silently died.
