Lay Down Your Arms - VariousArtists

Written by：Land/Gerhard/Roberts

Come to the station

Jump from the train

March at the double

Down lover's lane

Then in the glen where the roses en-twine

Lay down your arms lay down your arms

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

My sweetheart is a soldier

As handsome as can be

But suddenly they sent him

Away across the sea

So patiently I waited

Until his leave was due

Then wrote and said my darling

I'll tell you what to do

Come to the station

Jump from the train

March at the double

Down lover's lane

Then in the glen where the roses en-twine

Lay down your arms lay down your arms

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

A soldier is a soldier

And when he's on parade

An order is an order

And has to be obeyed

You've got to do your duty

Wherever you may be

And now you're under orders

To hurry home to me

Come to the station

Jump from the train

March at the double

Down lover's lane

Then in the glen where the roses en-twine

Lay down your arms lay down your arms

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

The girl who loves a soldier

Is either sad or gray

'Cos first of all he's with her

And then he's far away

But soldiers have their duty

To answer to the call

And that is why I'm calling

The loudest of them all

Come to the station

Jump from the train

March at the double

Down lover's lane

Then in the glen where the roses en-twine

Lay down your arms lay down your arms

Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
