Song: Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier Lyrics: Traditional Irish/Celtic Music & Voices: Ai
[verse1] Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill Who can blame me, cryin' my fill And ev'ry tear would turn a mill, Johnny has gone for a soldier.
[chorus] Shule, shule, shule a gra Oh shule, oh shule and he loves me When he comes back, he will marry me My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier
[verse2] 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.
[chorus] 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.
[verse3] 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.
[chorus] Siul siul siul a gra Me, oh my, I love him so But only time will heal my woe Johnny has gone for a soldier
[bridge] I'll dye my petticoat, I'll dye it red Around the world I'll bake my bread 'Til I find my love alive or dead My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier
[chorus] 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.
