Mitch & Mickey The Ballad Of Bobby And June Lyrics

This is the story of Bobby and June
A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon
But they fell in love to the sound of guns
The year was 1861

The army came looking for men to recruit
Dressin’ boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits
Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb they said
You’ll come back a hero or you’ll come back dead

(Chorus)
Stay with me Bobby
Don’t go away from me now
I want you say that you love me
Don’t go away from me now
I want you to stay

Now Bobby he marched to the eye of the storm
The blue coats were falling the blood was still warm
A battle was raging and the only thing in his eyes
Was the thought of his June and making it home alive His army outnumbered they started to run
When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun
And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain
He knew that he never and ever would see June again

(Chorus)

It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound
Of someone approaching their boots scraping on the
ground
As she looked out the window her heart pounded in her
breast
A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest

She ran out to help ease his pain
He looked up and whispered her name
Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled
When he heard his June say

(Chorus)

I want you to stay
