(Don't Put Your Boys in the Army) Mrs. Ward - The Idle Race

On Friday afternoon at three o'clock

A passing lady looked into a shop

Her eyes lit up as this the sign she read

Recruiting Office that is what it said

Excitedly she stepped inside to see

How her sons would fair if they were militry

The man in charge to her was very sweet

And said "Please sign here on this little sheet"

But when she got home her mind

Grew many fears

The message from the soldiers

In the war rang in her ears

Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward

You know they'll only waste away oh oh

Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward

You know they'll only waste away oh oh

At six o'clock the lads came home from work

She told them what she'd done

They went beserk

We'll have to go to war and fight and die

And Mrs Ward she wiped a tear from her eye

Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward

You know they'll only waste away oh oh

Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward

You know they'll only waste away oh oh

Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward

You know they'll only waste away oh oh

Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward

You know they'll only waste away oh oh

Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward

You know they'll only waste away oh oh
