Thread Name: No one ever gave a care: Little Johnny Head-In-Air
Subject: RE: No one ever gave a care: Little Johnny Head-In-Air
FOR JOHNNY
Do not despair.........For Johnny-head-in-air;
He sleeps as sound.....As Johnny underground.
Fetch out no shroud....For Johnny-in-the-cloud;
And keep your tears....For him in after years.
Better by far..........For Johnny-the-bright-star,
To keep your head......And see his children fed.
Quoted in the British WW2 film "The Way to the Stars"
