Twenty summers passing away
Johnny is called for a soldier today
Twenty summers, see how they pass
Johnny was earning his living at last

Johnny must shoulder a gun
And be going
and fighting some people
he'd rather be knowing

Twenty summers the tree by the wall
Heavy with blossoms were starting to fall
One night when his mother did Johnny can see
that spring when his father came home for some leave

Now Johnny must shoulder a gun
And be going
and fighting some people
he'd rather be knowing

Rain was falling softly to earth
The day of the autumn that gave Johnny birth
Rain in the jungle when Johnny was born
The day that his father lay dying at dawn

Now Johnny must shoulder a gun
And be going
and fighting some people
he'd rather be knowing

Twenty summers look how they've flown
Johnny was planning a life of his own
Twenty summers of leaves on the bow
How many summers await Johnny now?

Now Johnny must shoulder a gun
And be going
and fighting some people
he'd rather be knowing
