Song: | JOHNNY HAS GONE FOR A SOLDIER
Trad. Folk Key: Am 4 4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3 2 There I sat on But-ter-milk Hill 3 2 3 2 3 3 1 Who could blame me, cry my fill -1 2 2 2 -1 1 2 -3 4 And ev-'ry tear would turn a mill, 4 4 4 -4 -4 3 -3 -3 John-ny has gone for a sol-dier. Me, oh my, I loved him so, Broke my heart to see him go, And only time will heal my woe, Johnny has gone for a soldier. I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel, Likewise I'll sell my spinning wheel, And buy my love a sword of steel, Johnny has gone for a soldier. I'll dye my dress, I'll dye it red, And through the streets I'll beg for bread, For the lad that I love from me has fled, Johnny has gone for a soldier. |
