The Peasants’ March: A Song by Gail Auctor
I say my dear don’t cry no more
I’ve gone away to fight a war
Even though I don’t agree
My foes are just as poor as me
Hail the soldiers, fathers and sons
They’ve gone to war every one
Half may die though maybe more
But don’t forget to leave a light out by the door
I say my son don’t cheer no more
You’re far too young to go to war
But we must obey the royalty
So you must come away with me
Hail the soldiers, fathers and sons
They’ve gone to war every one
Half may die though maybe more
But don’t forget to leave a light out by the door
I say my love don’t weep no more
For I shall not return from war
You must find someone else to love
And I will guard you from above
Hail the soldiers, fathers and sons
They’ve gone to war every one
Half may die though maybe more
But don’t forget to leave a light out by the door
