I leave in the morning on that northern bound train
The time may be long till I see you again
I'll be returning but I can't say when
So hold me and love me till then
Till then I will miss you every hour of overey day
So promise you'll be true while I'm away
When it's all over I'll come home again
So hold me and love me till then
I'll do as I'm ordered I'll shoot the poor man down
Yes I'll fire the rifle but I don't like the sound
Then when it's over I'll thumb home again
So hold me and love me till then
Till then I will miss you every hour of overey day...
