Well, my name is Soldier John
And forgotten is my grave
I fought for my loved country
And I died young and brave
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
Follow your girl, follow your girl,
Don't follow the call of a general
Weeds grow on his grave
Watered by my tears
Why didn't he follow me
Why did he block his ears?
Follow your girl, follow your girl,
Don't follow the call of a general
And forgotten is my grave
I fought for my loved country
And I died young and brave
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
Follow your girl, follow your girl,
Don't follow the call of a general
Weeds grow on his grave
Watered by my tears
Why didn't he follow me
Why did he block his ears?
Follow your girl, follow your girl,
Don't follow the call of a general
