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...
