Gone for Soldier

Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill

Who can blame me, cryin' my fill?

And every tear would turn a mill

My lover has gone for soldier

Loved them, oh, I loved them so

Broke my heart to see them go

Only time can heal my woe

My lover has gone for soldier

I'll dye my clothes, I'll dye them red

Through the streets, I'll beg for bread

For the one I adore, from me has fled

My lover has gone for soldier

I'll sell my flax, I'll sell my meal

Sell my only spinnin' wheel

To buy for them a sword of steel

My lover has gone for soldier

Oh, my darling, oh, my love

Gone the rainbow, gone the dove

May we meet again in heaven above

My lover has gone for soldier

Aa
