"Johnny Was A Soldier" lyrics

"Johnny Was A Soldier"

Johnny joined the army
The cause he didn't know
He served three years
In the Middle East
You know it doesn't show

Johnny was a soldier
He can't dance anymore

When he came out
He tried to form a band
But he's only got one leg
And he can hardly stand

Now he drinks alone
He gets sentimental
He watches girls dance
And he's thrown away his medals
