Lyrics: The Cruel War (with Alison Krauss, Dan Tymins...

The Cruel 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 let me go with you
No, my love, no

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

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

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind
I love you far better than all of mankind
I love you far better than words can e're express
Won't you let me go with you
Yes, my love, yes

Yes, my love, yes
