《Johnny Willow》歌词

[00:00:00] Johnny Willow - El Clod

[00:00:04] Johnny willow was a soldier

[00:00:06] In the us infantry

[00:00:08] And they sent him

[00:00:09] Off to battle in 1943

[00:00:15] Now johnny had a girl back home

[00:00:17] Her name was jenny may

[00:00:19] And he made a solemn promise

[00:00:21] That he'd write to her each day

[00:00:25] Was early monday morning

[00:00:27] And the sun began to shine

[00:00:29] And johnny thought he'd rest a while

[00:00:31] And drop his girl a line

[00:00:33] He took his pen and began to write

[00:00:35] My dearest darling may

[00:00:37] And a shot rang out and he turned around

[00:00:39] And he heard somebody say

[00:00:41] The enemy's coming up the hill

[00:00:43] There's a thousand if there's one

[00:00:45] A meaner bunch you've never seen

[00:00:47] Come on we better run

[00:00:49] But johnny jumped out to his feet

[00:00:52] He held the letter tight

[00:00:54] Come on you dog faced soldiers

[00:00:56] We're gonna stay and fight

[00:00:57] Well he dropped his pen

[00:00:59] And he grabbed his gun

[00:01:00] And he said I'll show you

[00:01:01] How to get them on the run

[00:01:02] Then he started in a-running

[00:01:03] And a-shooting down the hill

[00:01:04] Come on you men just fire at will

[00:01:06] I'm gonna keep the promise

[00:01:08] That I made to jenny may

[00:01:10] You can bet I'll finish this letter

[00:01:12] And I'll finish it today

[00:01:14] Well the bullets were a-coming

[00:01:15] From as far as you could see

[00:01:16] The hill was alive with the charging

[00:01:18] But johnny kept a-shooting

[00:01:19] A a-yelling just the same

[00:01:20] The more he kept a-shooting

[00:01:21] Well the more and more they came

[00:01:22] Then he looked down at the letter

[00:01:24] Still held in his hand

[00:01:26] And he said we won't move back an inch

[00:01:28] We're gonna make a stand

[00:01:30] Well he looked around

[00:01:31] And his heart did pound

[00:01:32] When he saw his regiment holding ground

[00:01:35] Old glory was a-flying

[00:01:36] And a-waving in the breeze

[00:01:37] Ain't never been an enemy

[00:01:38] To bring her to her knees

[00:01:39] And we ain't gonna let it happen

[00:01:41] Not now or ever more

[00:01:43] Besides I got a letter to write

[00:01:45] And mail it out by four

[00:01:47] Well the cannon was a-booming

[00:01:48] And the mortars were a-zooming

[00:01:49] And it looked the 4th of july

[00:01:51] And the hill was a-burning

[00:01:52] But the battle was turning

[00:01:53] Cause I heard johnny yell

[00:01:54] It's do or die

[00:01:55] Now the regiment stepped forward

[00:01:57] Some hung their heads to pray

[00:01:59] Then johnny held his gun up high

[00:02:02] And the charge was on it's way

[00:02:03] Well they ran down the hill

[00:02:05] Just a-shooting and a-yelling

[00:02:06] And mowing down the enemy

[00:02:07] As fast as I'm a-telling

[00:02:08] Like a river over rapids

[00:02:08] Just a-flowing and a-going

[00:02:09] While a drummer was a-drumming

[00:02:10] And a bugle was a-blowing

[00:02:12] Til the enemy was defeated

[00:02:14] And they ran with all their might

[00:02:16] From the brave young men

[00:02:17] With a letter in his hand

[00:02:18] And a carbine in his right

[00:02:20] Well johnny is a hero

[00:02:21] Johnny is a hero

[00:02:22] The regiment did claim

[00:02:24] Cause he led the way

[00:02:25] And he saved the day

[00:02:26] And he won for him this fame

[00:02:28] Of a soldier without equal

[00:02:30] In the us infantry

[00:02:32] And it's men like johnny willow

[00:02:34] That keep our country free
