The army and the navy,
They never will agree
'Til all the men and all the boys
Are gone from my country.

Don't you go;
Don't you go my son.
Don't you go;
Don't you go my son.

The proud and the powerful,
In whose hands we lie
Never will be pleasured
'Til all our women cry.

Don't you go;
Don't you go.
Ah, don't you go;
Don't you go my son.

The mastery, the misery
Called the art of war,
Must never try and form a peace
As it has done before.

Don't you go;
Don't you go my son.
Don't you go;
Don't you go my son.

The army and the navy,
They never will agree
'Til all the men and all the boys
Are gone from this country.

Ah, don't you go;
Don't you go my son.
Don't you go;
Don't you go.

Don't you go;
Don't you go.
Don't you go;
Don't you go my son...
