Johnny's Gone for a Soldier - Solas
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
My Johnny he has gone for a soldier
