It was on a Friday evening wasn't nobody 'round I was sitting by my window watching the sun go down My baby came up to me saying daddy I got news for you I have been recruited and there ain't nothing that you can do 'Cause I can 't stand sitting , round this crazy town no more Not since the little baby shot dead down on the second floor And what about that poor old lady crippled in a police raid They told me if I get killed in battle I still get paid And when the train pulled out this morning I just stood and waved bye bye My baby joined the army and wasn't nothing I could do but cry So I cried Well there was a time and there was a dance that I used to do There was a dream that was working and I had other plans for you His family and his pride is all a man like me has left Better watch your back better take care of yourself And when the train pulled out next morning No precious child was left behind no 'Cause my baby joined the army, wasn't nothing I could do Nothing I could do but cry, so I cried Some day people will look back and say That was a time when peace didn't declare But I won't be around watching the sun go down
