Lay Down Your Arms Lyrics

Lay Down Your Arms - Anne Shelton

Written by:Roberts/Land/Gerhardt

Come to the station

Jump from the train

March at the double

Down lover's lane

Then in the glen

Where the roses entwine

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 entwine

 

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 entwine

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 gay

'Cause 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 entwine

Lay down your arms

Lay down your arms

Lay down your arms

And surrender to mine

Lay down your arms

And surrender to mine

 

Lay down your arms

And surrender to mine

Lay down your arms

 

And surrender to mine
