don't you go

the army and the navy

they never will agree

til all the men and all the boys

are gone from our country

don't you go

don't you go my son

don't you go

don't you go my son

the proud and the powerful

in whose hands we lie

never will be pleasured

til all our women cry

don't you go

don't you go

ah

don't you go

don't you go my son

the mastery

the misery

called the art of war

must never try and foil world peace

as it has done before

don't you go

don't you go my son

don't you go

don't you go my son

the army and the navy

they never will agree

'til all the men and all the boys

are gone from this country

oh

don't you go

don't you go my son

don't you go

don't you go

don't you go

don't you go

don't you go

don't you go my son
