Subject: Lyr Req: Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier
This should probably read Alt.Lyr Req. I love playing this melody that's commonly used for "Johnny Has Gone..." ( or Suil a Ruin) and would like to sing it but all the lyrics I've found in the DT and elsewhere are either a parody or sung from a female perspective, neither of which interests me. Does anyone know of a rewrite of this song to suit a male perspective or another set of lyrics entirely using the same tune?
Thanks, Dave.
