Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Johnny has gone for a soldier From: Lin in Kansas Date: 23 Feb 03 - 12:11 AM JOHNNY HAS GONE FOR A SOLDIER From Folk Songs of North America Alan Lomax, p. 47 O Johnny dear has gone away, He has gone afar across the bay. O my heart is sad and weary today, Johnny has gone for a soldier.
