My mom used to sing this with me when I was younger, she taught me the harmony. I have no idea of the artist, and I don't think she does either, but I've known the lyrics by heart for as long as I can remember No tears for Johnny People don't you cry no tears for Johnny Just because he's gonna die He's gonna be a hero from now until the end of time So shed no tears for Johnny boy Marchin' in a thin red line When the drums begin to roll Bugles start to blow Johnny must not reason why He knows he's got to go Fight for power and glory Johnny go to war And if one hundred boys should die We can send in a hundred more No tears for Johnny People don't you cry No tears for Johnny Just because he's gonna die A lesson for the world to learn Is one that we all ignore. So Johnny keep on marchin' till You forget what you're marchin' for.
