Fighting For Strangers - Steeleye Span[00:00:01]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:00:23]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:00:30]

A recruiting sergeant came our way[00:00:41]

To an Inn nearby at the close of day[00:00:44]

He said young Johnny you're a fine young man[00:00:48]

Would you like to march along behind a military band[00:00:50]

With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat[00:00:54]

And a musket at your shoulder[00:00:57]

The shilling he took and he kissed the book[00:01:00]

Oh poor Johnny what will happen to ya[00:01:03]

The recruiting sergeant marched away[00:01:10]

From the Inn nearby at the break of day[00:01:13]

Johnny went too with half a ring[00:01:17]

He was off to be a soldier he'd be fighting for the King[00:01:20]

In a far off war in a far off land[00:01:23]

To face a foreign soldier[00:01:26]

But how will you fare when there's lead in the air[00:01:29]

Oh poor Johnny what'll happen to ya[00:01:33]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:01:40]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:01:46]

The sun shone hot on a barren land[00:01:57]

As a thin red line took a military stand[00:02:00]

There was sling shot chain shot grape shot too[00:02:03]

Swords and bayonets thrusting through[00:02:07]

Poor Johnny fell but the day was won[00:02:10]

And the King is grateful to you[00:02:13]

But your soldiering's done and they're sending you home[00:02:16]

Oh poor Johnny what have they done to ya[00:02:19]

They said he was a hero and not to grieve[00:02:26]

Over two wooden pegs and empty sleeves[00:02:29]

They carried him home and set him down[00:02:33]

With a military pension and a medal from the crown[00:02:36]

You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg[00:02:39]

The enemy nearly slew you[00:02:42]

You'll have to go out on the streets to beg[00:02:45]

Oh poor Johnny what have they done to ya[00:02:49]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:02:56]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:03:02]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:03:11]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:03:18]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:03:28]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:03:34]
