Johnnys Gone To The War

verse 1 Johnny's gone in the mornin' sun Johnny's gone to carry a gun Off he goes in the break of dawn Johnny's gone to the war verse 2 See my Johnny standin' in the line Don't his uniform look fine? Children laughin' and girls all sighin' Johnny's gone to the war verse 3 Early in the mornin' at the break of day See the young men march away Mothers weepin' and fathers prayin' Johnny's gone to the war verse 4 Out of the land the young men poured It's flesh to feed the guns of war Johnny isn't a boy anymore Johnny's gone to the war Verse 5 Out on the field where the young men fell In the scream of shot and the roar of shell Men plunged down the throat of... heaven Johnny's gone to the war Verse 6 After the battle in the mud and rain The air is red with the screams of pain His eyes will never see the light again Johnny's gone to the war Verse 7 There's a mail train a-rollin' down the track Carryin' a letter edged in black And it says that Johnny won't be back Johnny's gone to the war...
