Well here I sit on Buttermilk hill
Here I sit and cry my fill
And my tears could turn a mill
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule agra
Me oh my I love him so
Only time can heal my woe
Johnny has gone for a soldier
I'll pawn my rod, I'll pawn my reel
To buy my love a sword and shield
When he lies murdered on the field
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule agra
Me oh my I love him so
Only time can heal my woe
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Well here I sit on Buttermilk hill
Here I sit and cry my fill
And my tears could turn a mill
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule agra
Me oh my I love him so
Only time can heal my woe
Johnny has gone for a soldier
