What is the matter, ain't you in love with me no more?
 I enlisted in the army today,
 One more time before I march away
 Make me feel like a big strong man
 You say you don't care about my pride,
 You love me too much just to let me die,
 And you won't let me come inside
 unless I don't go to war no more

 Lysistrata, little boys like to have their fun,
 And you know I gotta put on my colors and get my gun
 Every able bodied man that I know,
 every patriot is packed to go
 Won't you give me a last goodbye
 I'll be sent off to a distant land,
 to spill my blood upon some foreign sand,
 And I may die by an enemy's hand
 And then I won't go to war no more

 Send the boys all back to the farm
 Tell the troops it was a false alarm,
 'Cause if I die I want to be in your arms,
 And so I won't go to war, no I won't go to war,
 said I won't go to war no more
