JOHNNY HAS GONE FOR A SOLDIER [SIÚIL A RUIN; SHULE AROON] I wish I were on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and I'd cry my fill, And ev'ry tear would turn a mill, And a blessing walk with you, my love Variant for last line of every verse: Iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn. His hair was black and his eyes were blue His arms were strong and his words were true I wish in my heart that I were with you And a blessing walk with you, my love. Shule, shule, shule aroonI'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a sword of steel And a blessing walk with you, my love Shule, shule, shule aroonThen the king, he was forced to flee Took my love across the sea I wish in my heart he were here with me And a blessing walk with you, my love I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And 'round the world I'll beg my bread, Until my parents shall wish me dead And a blessing walk with you, my love Come, come, come O love, Quickly come to me, softly move, Come to the door and away we'll flee, And safe forever may my darling be. Shule, shule, shule aroon Optional verses: I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again, And vainly think I'd not complain And a blessing walk with you, my love But now my love has gone to France To try his fortune to advance. If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance And a blessing walk with you, my love. | HOME Home, home, bring our soldiers home. When you stand for peace, you never stand alone.
