The Chordettes - Lay Down Your Arms - Текст песни

1.
My sweetheart is a soldier
As handsome as can be
But suddenly they sent him
Away across the sea

So patiently I waited
Until his leave was due
Then wrote and said "My darling,
I'll tell you what to do"

CHORUS:
Come to the station
Jump from the train
March at the double
Down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses en-twine
Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

2.
A soldier is a soldier
And when he's on parade
An order is an order
And has to be obeyed
