There she sits on Buttermilk Hill
Oh who could blame her crying her fill
Every tear would turn a mill
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Me oh my she loved him so
It broke her heart just to see him go
Only time will heal her woe
Johnny has gone for a soldier
ย
She sold her rock and she sold her reel
She sold her only spinning wheel
To buy her love a sword of steel
Johnny has gone for a soldier
She'll dye her dress, she'll dye it red
And in the streets go begging for bread
The one she loves from her has fled
Johnny has gone for a soldier
ย
Johnny has gone for a soldier
