(Original Key: )
,
This is the story oBobby and June.
A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon.
But they fell in love to the sounds of guns,
The year was Eighteen Sixty One.
The army came looking for men to re-cruit.
Dressin' boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits.
Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb, they said.
You'll come back a hero, or you'll come back dead.
Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now.
I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now.
I want you to stay.
Interlude:
(x2)
Now Bobby he marched to the eye of the storm,
The blue coats were falling; the blood was still warm.
A battle was raging, and the only thing in his eyes,
Was the thought of his June and making it home a-live.
His army out-numbered; they started to run.
When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun.
And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain,
He knew that he never and ever would see, June a-gain.
Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now.
I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now.
I want you to stay.
Interlude:
(x2)
It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound,
Of someone ap-proaching, their boots scraping on the ground.
As she looked out the window her heart pounded in her breast,
A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest.
Break:
She ran out to help ease his pain.
He looked up and whispered her name.
Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled,
When he heard his June say;
Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now.
I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now.
I want you to stay.
