War rolled in through father’s field when I was nine
Made an orphan out of me
I saw it all from in the tree by mother’s garden
They didn’t even use a gun, just killed them all with steel and club
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
How could I ever cry enough?
I won’t cry, I’m all alone, I won’t cry
War put a rifle in my hands when I was ten
Made a soldier out of me
I learned the lesson I had seen by mother’s garden
I joined the people of the gun; the brotherhood of steel and club
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
How could I ever cry enough?
I won’t cry, I’m dealing death, I won’t cry
War was a bullet in my brain when I was twelve
Died before I hit the ground
I flew and landed in the tree by mother’s garden
I served the purpose of the gun and held my faith in steel and club
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
How could I ever cry enough?
I won’t cry, I’m dead and gone, I won’t cry
Hush now baby don’t you cry. Mama will sing you a lullaby
By mother’s garden, let the child be
By mother’s garden, a child ought to grow
By mother’s garden, mother’s garden
