The sun is rising and I must leave
I know that you'll be praying for me
God only knows if we'll meet again Juanita
My riffle's loaded and I'm prepared
To shoot somebody waiting out there
And though I hate this war
I'd rather die than to run
When I'm gone, please be strong, Juanita
When I'm gone, sing a song, Juanita
Then I'll hear in the wind
That old song we used to sing
Sing a song when I'm gone, Juanita
Verse
The enemy who's waiting out there
Are just like us all frightened and scared
They hate the war as much as we do, Juanita
So if I don't come back here again
Don't blame the man who killed me my friend
We're just the marionettes
Somebody else pulls the strings
When I'm gone, please be strong, Juanita
When I'm gone, sing a song, Juanita
Then I'll hear in the wind
That old song we used to sing
Sing a song when I'm gone, Juanita
Sing a song, sing a song, my love
