Don’t You Go
John Martyn
[Verse 1]
The army and the navy
They never will agree
Till all the men and all the boys
Are gone from our country
[Chorus]
Don't you go
Don't you go, my son
Don't you go
Don't you go, my son
[Verse 2]
The proud and the powerful
In whose hands we lie
They never will be pleasured
Till all we women cry
[Chorus]
Don't you go
Don't you go, my son
Don't you go
Don't you go, my son
[Verse 3]
Mastery, the misery
They call the arts of war
Must never triumph over peace
As it has done before
[Chorus]
Don't you go
Don't you go, my son
Don't you go
Don't you go, my son
Don't you go
Don't you go, my son
Don't you go now
Don't you go, my son
