Lyrics

[Verse 1] The cruel war is raging Sonny has to fight I want to be with him From morning till night I want to be with him It grieves my heart so Won't you let me go with you? No, my love, no [Verse 2] Tomorrow is Sunday Monday is the day That your captain will call you And you must obey Your captain will call you It grieves my heart so Won't you let me go with you? No, my love, no [Verse 3] I'll tie back my hair Men's clothing I'll put on I'll pass as your comrade As we march along I'll pass as your comrade No one will ever know Won't you let me go with you? No, my love, no [Verse 4] Oh Sonny oh Sonny I feel you are unkind I love you far better Than all of mankind I love you far better Than words can ever express Oh won't you let me go with you? Yes, my love, yes
