The cruel war is rag-ing,
John-ny has to fight
I want to be with him
from morn-ing to night.
I want to be with him,
it grieves my heart so,
Wont you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.
To-mor-row is Sun-day,
Mon-day is the day
That your cap-tain will call you
and you must o-bey.
Your cap-tain 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 cloth-ing Ill put on,
Ill pass as your com-rade,
as we march a-long.
Ill pass as your com-rade,
no one will ev-er know.
Wont you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.
Oh John-ny, oh John-ny,
I fear you are un-kind
I love you far bet-ter
than all of man-kind.
I love you far bet-ter
than words can ere ex-press
Wont you let me go with you?
Yes, my love, yes.
Yes, my love, yes.
