The cruel war is raging

Sonny has to fight

I want to be with him

From morning till night



I want to be with him

It grieves my heart so

Won't you let me go with you

No my love no



Tomorrow is Sunday

Monday is the day

That your captain will call you

And you must obey

Your captain will call you

It grieves my heart so

Won't you let me go with you

No my love no



I'll tie back my hair

Men's clothing I'll put on

I'll pass as your conrad

As we march along

I'll pass as your conrad

No one will ever know

Won't you let me go with you

No my love no



Oh Sonny oh Sonny

I feel you are unkind

I love for better

Than all of mankind

I love you for better

Than words can ever express

Oh won't you let me go with you

Yes my love yes
