Lyrics

Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see Marching to the fields of concord? It looks like handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand Marching to the concord war, hey marching to the concord war Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see Marching to the fields of Gettysburg? Looks like handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand Marching to the Gettysburg War, hey marching to the Gettysburg War Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see Marching to the fields of Dunkirk? Looks like handsome Johnny with a carbine in his hand Marching to the Dunkirk War, hey marching to the Dunkirk War Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see Marching to the fields of Korea Looks like handsome Johnny with an M1 in his hand Marching to the Korean War, hey marching to the Korean War Hey, it's a long hard road, it's a long hard road It's a long, hard road, and before we'll be free And before we'll be free Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see Marching to the fields of Vietnam? It looks like handsome Johnny with an M15 Marching to the Vietnam War, hey, marching to the Vietnam War Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see Marching to the fields of Birmingham Looks like handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist Marching to the Birmingham War, hey, marching to the Birmingham War Hey, what's the use of singing this song Some of you are not even listening Tell me what it is we've got to do Wait for our bullets to start whistling Wait 'til the bombs start balling Hey, yeah, hey, here comes a hydrogen bomb And, here comes a guided missile Here comes a hydrogen bomb I can almost hear its whistle I can almost hear its whistle Yeah, yeah, yeah
