[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 [Dm7]a soldier
[Chorus]
I'll send my [A]flax sell my [A]meal,
Sell my [A]only spinnin' wheel
Buy my [A]love a sword of steel
Johnny's gone for [Dm7]a soldier
[Chorus]
Loved him oh I loved him so
Broke my [A]heart to [C7]see him go
Only time can heal my [A]woe
Johnny's gone for [Dm7]a soldier
[Chorus]
I sold my [A]flax and [Bm]my [A]meal
Sold my [A]only spinnin' wheel
Now he's dead upon [C7]the field
Johnny's gone for [Dm7]a soldier
[Chorus]
