The sky was clear, the stars were bright,
The grass was wet with dew,
When Johnny arose, put on his clothes,
! And vowed what he would do.
"I'll leave my pa, I'll leave my ma,
I'll GO from here to stay;
They used me rough I've had enough,
And so I'll run away.
an take my clothes, I'll take my all
A slave / will not be:
I'll go out west, I'll do my best
I'll strike for liberty"
And Johnny started bravely out,
And said he'd meier return;
He said he'd go and make show,
And let his genius burn.
He travelled all that summer night,
And bravely through the day.
And then, said he, 81 wish that we

With sadness in his tone;

And then he sighed and sobbed and cried:
"Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hooP'
The boy when found was taken home,
And was content to stay,
Said he: I'm cured, and rest assured,

No woman who marries an old
soldier after July will be entitled to
