Handsome Johnny - Richie Havens

Hey, look yonder, tell me what’s that you see

Marching to the fields of Concord?

Looks like Handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand

Marching to the Concord war, hey, marching to the Concord war

Hey, look yonder, tell me what’s that you see

Marching to the fields of Gettysburg?

Looks like Handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand

Marching to the Gettysburg war, hey, marching to the Gettysburg war

Hey, it’s a long hard road, it’s a long hard road

It’s a long hard road, hey, before we’ll be free

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see

Marching to the fields of Dunkirk?

Looks like Handsome Johnny with a carbine in his hand

Marching to the Dunkirk war, hey, marching to the Dunkirk war

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see

Marching to the fields of Korea?

Looks like Handsome Johnny with an M1 in his hand

Marching to the Korean war, hey, marching to the Korean war

Hey, it’s a long hard road, it’s a long hard road

It’s a long hard road, hey, before we’ll be free

Hey, before we’ll be free

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see

Marching to the fields of Vietnam?

Looks like Handsome Johnny with an M15

Marching to the Vietnam war, hey, marching to the Vietnam war

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see

Marching to the fields of Birmingham?

Looks like Handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist

Marching to the Birmingham war, hey, marching to the Birmingham war

Hey, what’s the use of singing this song

Some of you are not even listening

Tell me what it is we’ve got to do, wait for our fields to start glistening

Hey, wait for the bullets to start whistling

Hey, here comes a hydrogen bomb and here comes a guided missile

Here comes a hydrogen bomb, I can almost hear its whistle

I can almost hear its whistle
