Cruel War (Peter Paul & Mary)                     
                                                  
The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight. I   
want to be with him, morning 'til night. I want   
to be with him, it grieves my heart so. Won't     
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.    
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.                                         
                                                  
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.       
Won't you let me go with you? Yes, my love, yes.
