Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier - James Taylor - Mark O'Connor
From the PBS documentary Liberty: The American Revolution. The song is "Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier" by James Taylor and Mark O'Connor.
~ Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier ~
There she sits on buttermill hill
Who could blame her crying her fill
Every tear could turn a mill
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Me oh my she loves him so
It broke her heart to see him go
Only time can heal her wound
Johnny has gone for a soldier
She sold her rock and she sold her reel
She sold her only spinning wheel
To buy her love a sword of steel
Johnny has gone for a soldier
She'll dye her dress, she'll dye it red
And in the streets go begging for bread
The one she loves from her has fled
Johnny has gone for a soldier
