DESCRIPTION:
A gorgeous reading of the Peter Paul & Mary song from Arsenio, circa the Gulf War in 1991. The song's relevance is even more palpable during this almost decade-old, senseless, unjust Iraqi War. Cruel war, indeed...

The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight
I want to be with him from morning to night.
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so
Wont 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,
Wont you let me go with you?

No, my love, no.

I'll tie back my hair, mens clothing I'll put on,
I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along.
I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.
Wont you let me go with you?

No, my love, no.

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny,
I fear you are unkind
I love you far better than all of mankind.
I love you far better than words can ere express
Wont you let me go with you?

Yes, my love, yes.
Yes, my love, yes.
