Lay Down Your Arms Lyrics Anne Shelton 
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 under 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 'Cos first of all he's with her, and then he's far away But soldiers have their 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 Lay down your arms and surrender to mine Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
