Across The Border - Follow Your Girl lyrics

Well, my name is Soldier John And forgotten is my grave I fought for my loved country And I died young and brave Refrain: Follow your girl, follow your girl, Don't follow the call of a general My girl said: please don't go When I was leaving the town Some of us never came back For god and for the crown Refrain Weeds grow on his grave Watered by my tears Why didn't he follow me Why did he block his ears?
