Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Johnny has gone for a soldier
Here's my Dad's version based loosley (Ithink) on Peter Paul and Mary's Gone the Rainbow:
Shule, shule shulearoo
Bm F#7 Bm
Shule a rak shak shule a bab ba coo
D F#m Bm
When I saw my Sally Babby Beal com bibble in the boo shy lorey
D F#m G Bm F#m F#7 Bm
Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill
Bm A G Bm
Who could blame me cry my fill
D F#m Bm
Every tear could turn a mill
D F#m Bm G
Johnny's gone for a soldier
Bm F#m Bm
Chorus
Sold my flax, sold my wheel
For to buy a swrod of steel
so it in battle he could wield
Johhny's gone for a soldier
Chorus
Oh my baby, oh my love
gone the rainbow, gone the dove
your father was my only love
now he's gone for a soldier
Chorus
