Johnny's Gone for a Soldier

Oh I wish I were on yonder hill It's there I'd sit and cry my fill 'Til every tear would turn a mill My Johnny's gone for a soldier Well, Johnny, my love, he went away He would not heed what I did say He won't be back for many's a day My Johnny's 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 I'll sell my rack, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel And buy my love a sword of steel My Johnny's gone for a soldier 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) But now my love, he has gone to France To try his fortune to advance If he returns, it is but a chance My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier (Chorus) I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again 'Tis gladly I would not complain My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier (Chorus 2x) My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier 1
