George Jones Bury It With Johnny Lyrics

Bury It With Johnny Lyrics

Johnny went off to fight the war.They had no idea what lied in store.Off to
fight from some unknown shore.To help his country settle the score.Elizabeth
was left behind.The only true love he'd ever find.She said I'll wait right here
for you.I'll stay loyal and see you through.Elizabeth was good with a pen.She
would write Johnny everynow and again.But Johnny could never capturethe
words.To tell her how much she meant to him.She walked down to the post office
today.Her stomach quivering with so much to say.Hello Johnny, I write with good
news.Johnny, we have a baby on the way.The letter should be reaching Johnny
soon.We believe the clock read five past noon.Well dressed men came to the
door.Elizabeth fell crying and landed on the floor.The sun today will never
rise.People gathered today to cry their eyes.The folded flag was presented by
themen.Elizabeth addressed the menand rose again.She said.This flag may
represent freedom,It maybe its a symbol of this war.You can bury it with
Johnny, because to us he was fighting for so much more.Two weeks went by, they
felt like years.Many Kleenex tossed away theywere all drenched in tears.The
mailman came and knocked on the door.He said, "Hello sweety, there is justone
more."He didn't stop loving her that day.Johnny finally found the pen.He told
her all he had to say.He told Elizabeth, "I can't wait to meet our baby and see
yourbeautiful face again."
