Letra de I Wish the Wars Were All Over - Joan Baez

Down by the deep water where sweet linden stand
I saw pretty Polly wringing her hands
And the song that she sung made the whole grove to ring
My Billy has left me to fight for a king
And I wish the wars were all over

I stood in a maze to hear what she said
I'll follow my Billy whether living or dead
The notes that she sung were the nightingale's notes
How the lark and the linnet they warble their throats
And I wish the wars were all over

I said, my dear Polly if you'll stay with me

I'll make you as happy as happy can be
Oh no, then she said, that never can be
I'll never be happy till my Billy I see
And I wish the wars were all over

And now from my parents I'll haste and away
I'll reach myself out in a young man's array
And every company that I pass by
I'll ask for my Billy or where he does lie
And I wish the wars were all over
And I wish the wars were all over
