Peter, Paul and Mary~Cruel War

老牌民歌樂隊Peter, Paul & Mary，歷年有大量港人熟悉的唱作，迷倒不少六、七十年代的青少年，當中令我最深刻的便是這首 Cruel War，百聽不厭。

The Cruel War is raging, Johnny has to fight
I want to be with him from morning till night.
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so,
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day
That your Captain will call you and you must obey.
Your captain will call you it grieves my heart so,
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on,
I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along.
I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind
I love you far better than all of mankind.
I love you far better than words can e're express
Won't you let me go with you?
Yes, my love, yes.

Yes, My Love, Yes.
