"John O'War" lyrics

A man in the town said, "You're fighting for
All our tomorrows"
But there's no work here, all I can do
Is pack up my sorrows

Baby, won't you let me go?
Oh Mamie, don't you know?
My mind's made up, I've got to go away
We leave today
Oh Mamie, don't you know?
My mind's made up, I've got to
Go away, yeah, yeah

A man in the town said, "You're out of work
But you could be earning"
While the Motherland is red and warm
A thousand hearts yearning, bleeding

Oh Mamie, don't you know?
My mind's made up, I've got to go away
We leave today
Oh Mamie, don't you know?
My mind's made up, I've got to
Go away, yeah, yeah

My soul is on fire, yeah
Don't take away this one desire
My soul is on fire, yeah
Don't take away this one desire
Oh, Mamie

Oh Mamie, don't you know?
My mind's made up, I've got to go away
We leave today
Oh Mamie, don't you know?
My mind's made up, I've got to
Go away, yeah, yeah
