Lyrics:
[Chorus] Shule shule, shule aroon Shule the agaragar, shule the coon Shule shule shule aroon I don't think that anyone should tie me oh Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill Weep I will and weep my fill Every tear would turn a mill Johnny is gone for a soldier [Chorus] I'll send my flax sell my meal, Sell my only spinnin' wheel Buy my love a sword of steel Johnny's gone for a soldier [Chorus] Loved him oh I loved him so Broke my heart to see him go Only time can heal my woe Johnny's gone for a soldier [Chorus] I sold my flax and my meal Sold my only spinnin' wheel Now he's dead upon the field Johnny's gone for a soldier [Chorus]
