Johnny Went To The War Songtext / Lyric

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

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

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

In the name of freedom
where the murdering cannons roar
excellent diversion
Johnny-boy went to the war
