Johnny Went To The War Lyrics

They′ll send him to the war-inspector
"I′ll be back tomorrow" said he
"When I will return again we′ll go to Mexico"
"They sent you to the war-inspector
I have missed you Johnny" said she
"Great to know you by my side
I′ll never let you go

[Refrain:]
In the name of freedom
Where the murdering cannons roar
Excellent diversion
Johnny-Boy went to the war

They′ll send him to the regiment
"I′ll be back tomorrow" said he
"When I will return again we′ll go to Mexico"
"They sent you to the regiment
I have missed you Johnny" said she
"Great to know you by my side
I′ll never let you go

[Refrain]

They′ll send him to the battlefield
"I′ll be back tomorrow" said he
"When I will return again you′ll never let me go"
"They sent you to the battlefield
I have missed you Johnny" said she
"Great to know you by my side
In your graveyard down below"

[Refrain]
