Fighting for Strangers
作词 : Traditional
Fighting For Strangers -Steeleye Span
What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers
When you could be safe at home free from all dangers
A recruiting sergeant came our way
To an Inn nearby at the close of day
He said young Johnny you're a fine young man
Would you like to march along behind a military band
With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat
And a musket at your shoulder
The shilling he took and he kissed the book
Oh poor Johnny what will happen to ya
The recruiting sergeant marched away
From the Inn nearby at the break of day
Johnny went too with half a ring
He was off to be a soldier he'd be fighting for the King
In a far off war in a far off land
To face a foreign soldier
But how will you fare when there's lead in the air
Oh poor Johnny what'll happen to ya
What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers
When you could be safe at home free from all dangers
The sun shone hot on a barren land
As a thin red line took a military stand
There was sling shot chain shot grape shot too
Swords and bayonets thrusting through
Poor Johnny fell but the day was won
And the King is grateful to you
But your soldiering's done and they're sending you home
Oh poor Johnny what have they done to ya
They said he was a hero and not to grieve
Over two wooden pegs and empty sleeves
They carried him home and set him down
With a military pension and a medal from the crown
You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg
The enemy nearly slew you
You'll have to go out on the streets to beg
Oh poor Johnny what have they done to ya
What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers
When you could be safe at home free from all dangers
What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers
When you could be safe at home free from all dangers
What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers
When you could be safe at home free from all dangers
