Oh, I wish I were on yonder hill
               C              G
It's there I'd sit and cry my fill
           D                 Am
'Til every tear would turn a mill
            D          Am
My Johnny's gone for a soldier

Well, Johnny, my love, he went away

I'll sell my rack, I'll sell my reel

I'll sell my only spinning wheel
           D               Am
And buy my love a sword of steel
            D          Am
My Johnny's gone for a soldier

I'll dye my petticoat, I'll dye it red

Around the world I'll bake my bread
            D                Am
'Til I find my love alive or dead
                  D          Am

[Verse 5]
    G      D            Am      G
But now my love, he has gone to France
           C            G
To try his fortune to advance
        D                  Am
