I Wish the Wars Were All Over
Down by deep water where sweet linden stand I saw pretty Polly wringing her hands The song that she sung made the whole grove to ring My Billy has left me to fight for a king And I wish the wars were all over
I stood in amaze to hear what she said I'll follow my Billy whether living or dead The notes that she sung were the nightingale's notes How the lark and the linnet they warble their throats And I wish the wars were all over
I said my dear Polly if you'll stay with me Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'll make you as happy as happy can be No then she said that never can be I'll never be happy till my Billy I see And I wish the wars were all over
Now from my parents I'll haste and away I'll dress myself out in a young man's array And every company that I pass by I'll ask for my Billy or where he does lie And I wish the wars were all over And I wish the wars were all over
