The Chordettes - Lay Down Your Arms lyrics

Your rating:

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

 You've got to do your duty
 wherever you may be
 And now you're under orders
 To hurry home to me

 (Chorus)

 3.
 The girl who loves a soldier
 Is either sad or gray
 'Cos  first of all he's with her
 And then he's far away
 But soldiers have their duty
 To answer to the call
 And that is why I'm calling
 The loudest of them all

 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
