"Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier" - James Taylor & Mark O'Connor

This is one of the prettiest versions of this folk ballad that I've heard.  James Taylor & Mark O'Connor - "Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier" from the PBS Documentary "The American Revolution." 

Johnny's Gone for a Soldier

There she sits on Buttermilk Hill
Oh who could blame her, crying her fill,
Every tear would turn a mill,
Johnny has gone for a soldier.

Me, oh my, she loved him so,
It broke her heart just to see him go,
And only time will heal her woe,
Johnny has gone for a soldier.

She sold her rock dress, she sold her reel,
She sold her only spinning reel,
To buy her love a sword of steel,

Johnny has gone for a soldier.

She'll dye her dress, she'll dye it red,
And in the streets go begging for bread,
The one she loves from her has sped
Johnny has gone for a soldier.
