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

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:00:31]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:00:39]

A recruiting sergeant came our way[00:00:52]

To an Inn nearby at the close of day[00:00:56]

He said young Johnny you're a fine young man[00:01:01]

Would you like to march along behind a military band[00:01:05]

With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat[00:01:10]

And a musket at your shoulder[00:01:14]

The shilling he took and he kissed the book[00:01:18]

Oh poor Johnny what will happen to ya[00:01:23]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:01:31]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:01:40]

The recruiting sergeant marched away[00:01:53]

From the Inn nearby at the break of day[00:01:58]

Johnny went too with half a ring[00:02:02]

He was off to be a soldier he'd be fighting for the King[00:02:07]

In a far off war in a far off land[00:02:11]

To face a foreign soldier[00:02:15]

But how will you fare when there's lead in the air[00:02:19]

Oh poor Johnny what'll happen to ya[00:02:23]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:02:32]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:02:42]

The sun shone hot on a barren land[00:02:54]

As a thin red line took a military stand[00:02:58]

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

Swords and bayonets thrusting through[00:03:07]

Poor Johnny fell but the day was won[00:03:12]

And the King is grateful to you[00:03:16]

But your soldiering's done and they're sending you home[00:03:20]

Oh poor Johnny what have they done to ya[00:03:24]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:03:33]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:03:42]

They said he was a hero and not to grieve[00:03:55]

Over two wooden pegs and empty sleeves[00:03:59]

They carried him home and set him down[00:04:04]

With a military pension and a medal from the crown[00:04:08]

You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg[00:04:13]

The enemy nearly slew you[00:04:17]

You'll have to go out on the streets to beg[00:04:22]

Oh poor Johnny what have they done to ya[00:04:26]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:04:34]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:04:43]

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers[00:04:54]

When you could be safe at home free from all dangers[00:05:04]
