Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier
James Taylor
Intro: There she sits on Buttermilk Hill Oh who could blame her crying her fill Every tear would turn a mill Johnny has gone for a soldier Me-oh-my she loved him so It broke her heart just to see him go Only time will heal her woe Johnny has gone for a soldier Instrumental: N.C. She sold her rod and she sold her reel She sold her only spinning wheel To buy her love a sword of steel Johnny has gone for a soldier She’ll dye her dress she’ll dye it red And in the streets go begging for bread The one she loves from her has fled Johnny has gone for a soldier OUTRO: Johnny has gone for a soldier
