Electric Light Orchestra - Mrs. Ward Lyrics
On friday afternoon at three o'clockA passing lady looked into a shopHer eyes lit up as this the sign she readRecruiting office, that is what it saidExacitedly she stepped inside to seeHow her sons would fair if they were militryThe man in charge to her was very sweetAnd said, "please sign here on this little sheet"But when she got home her mind grew many fearsThe message from the soldiers in the war rang in her earsDon't put your boys in the army mrs. wardYou know they'll only waste away, oh ohDon't put your boys in the army mrs. wardYou know they'll only waste away, oh ohAt six o'clock the lads came home from workShe told them what she'd done, they went beserkWe'll have to go to war and fight and dieAnd mrs. ward she wiped a tear from her eyeDon't put your boys in the army mrs. wardYou know they'll only waste away, oh ohDon't put your boys in the army mrs. wardYou know they'll only waste away, oh ohDon't put your boys in the army mrs. wardYou know they'll only waste away, oh ohDon't put your boys in the army mrs. wardYou know they'll only waste away, oh ohDon't put your boys in the army mrs. wardYou know they'll only waste away, oh oh
