Eugene Levy - Ballad Of Bobby And June lyrics

This is the story of Bobby and June A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon But they fell in love to the sound of guns The year was 1861 The army came looking for men to recruit Dressin' boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits "Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb", they said You'll come back a hero or you'll come back dead Stay with me, Bobby Don't go away from me now I want you say that you love me Don't go away from me now I want you to stay Now Bobby, he marched to the eye of the storm The blue coats were falling, the blood was still warm A battle was raging and the only thing in his eyes Was the thought of his June and making it home alive His army outnumbered, they started to run When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain He knew that he never and ever would see June again Stay with me, Bobby Don't go away from me now I want you say that you love me Don't go away from me now I want you to stay It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound Of someone approaching their boots scraping on the ground As she looked out the window her heart pounded in her breast A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest She ran out to help ease his pain He looked up and whispered her name Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled When he heard his June say Stay with me, Bobby Don't go away from me now I want you say that you love me Don't go away from me now I want you to stay I want you to stay
