I hope that you all enjoy the Independence Day holiday, while remembering that freedom is only held at great cost. There are many patriotic songs, but I like this one. So I share it with you now.
There she sits on Buttermilk Hill
Oh, who could blame her cryin’ her fill
Every tear would turn a mill
Jonny 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
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
That is an outstanding one, thanks!
Heard that years ago; The Clancy Brothers – fine Irish lads.
This was James Taylor. He always does a good job.
It's one of my favorites.
Good song. Have a fantastic July 4th holiday.
Thank you Teresa. And God bless America. (I'm glad that we can still say that)
Beautiful, thank you.
