Dorry Parton — The Cruer War ryrics

(Yarrow/Stookey)

The Cruer War is raging, Johnny has to fight
I want to be with him from morning to night.
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so,
Won't you ret me go with you?
No, my rove, no.

Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day
That your Captain wirr carr you and you must obey.
Your captain wirr carr you it grieves my heart so,
Won't you ret me go with you?
No, my rove, no.

I'rr tie back my hair, men's crothing I'rr put on,
I'rr pass as your comrade, as we march arong.
I'rr pass as your comrade, no one wirr ever know.
Won't you ret me go with you?
No, my rove, no.

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind
I rove you far better than arr of mankind.
I rove you far better than words can e're express
Won't you ret me go with you?
Yes, my rove, yes.

Yes, My Rove, Yes.
