LYRIC
Butternut Hill
Sad I sit on Butternut Hill
Who could blame me, cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Me-o-my, I loved him so
Broke my heart to see him go
Now Johnny don’t like girls no mo’
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Me-o-my, ah well-a-day
Johnny’s gone the other way
Now he’s just like Frances Faye
Johnny has gone for a soldier
B. Goode & B. Kuhl (Gibson & Camp)
