Don't You Go

the army and the navy

they never will agree

'til all the men and all the boys

are gone from my country

don't you go

don't you go, my son

don't you go

don't you go, my son

the proud and the powerful

in whose hands we lie

they never will be pleasured

'til all our women cry

don't you go

don't you go, my son

don't you go

don't you go, my son

the mastery and the misery

they call the art of war

must never try and form a peace

as it has done before

don't you go

don't you go, my son

don't you go

don't you go, my son

the army and the navy

they never will agree

'til all the men and all the boys

are gone from this country

don't you go

don't you go, my son

don't you go

don't you go, my son

don't you go

don't you go, my son

please don't go

don't go, my son
