Lay Down Your Arms Songtext
von The Chordettes

Come to the station, jump from the train
March at the double down lover′s lane
Then in the glen where the roses entwine

Lay down your arms, lay down your arms
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

My sweetheart is a soldier as handsome as can be
But suddenly they sent him away across the sea
So patiently I waited until his leave was due
Then wrote and said, "My darling, I'll tell you what to do"

Come to the station, jump from the train
March at the double down lover′s lane
Then in the glen where the roses entwine
Lay down your arms, lay down your arms
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine


A soldier is a soldier and when he's on parade
An order is an order and has to be obeyed
You've got to do your duty wherever you may be
And now you′re on your orders to hurry home to me

Come to the station, jump from the train
March at the double down lover′s lane
Then in the glen where the roses entwine
Lay down your arms, lay down your arms
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine

The girl who loves a soldier is either sad or gay
'Cause first of all he′s with her and then he's far away
But soldiers have the duty to answer to the call
And that is why I′m calling the loudest of them all

Come to the station, jump from the train
March at the double down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses entwine
Lay down your arms, lay down your arms
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
