Johnny's Gone for a Soldier

Oh I wish I were on yonder hill
 It's there I'd sit and cry my fill
 'Til every tear would turn a mill
 My Johnny's gone for a soldier
 Well, Johnny, my love, he went away
 He would not heed what I did say
 He won't be back for many's a day
 My Johnny's gone for a soldier
 Chorus:
 Shule, shule, shule a gra
 Oh shule, oh shule and he loves me
 When he comes back, he will marry me
 My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier
 I'll sell my rack, I'll sell my reel
 I'll sell my only spinning wheel
 And buy my love a sword of steel
 My Johnny's gone for a soldier
 I'll dye my petticoat, I'll dye it red
 Around the world I'll bake my bread
 'Til I find my love alive or dead
 My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier
 (Chorus)
 But now my love, he has gone to France
 To try his fortune to advance
 If he returns, it is but a chance
 My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier
 (Chorus)
 I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
 I wish I had my heart again
 'Tis gladly I would not complain
 My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier
 (Chorus 2x)
 My Johnny, he has gone for a soldier
