Northern Soul

Mama is your boy home I used to see him here

No my son is gone away you won't find him near

Is he over there then fightin' in that war

No my son has left that place we'll see him never more

War

And now this war has taken away our son

Has taken away our son

What ever happened to love sweet love

What ever happened to

Love your brother love your sister one another

in the darkest hour

Mama what was he fightin for did he really understand

No my son just went along he was told to by the man

Mama he was my son too I feel for him I can

Northern soul is what he had and I'd rather have him back

War

And now this war has taken away our son

Has taken away our son

What ever happened to love sweet love

What ever happened to

Love your brother love your sister one another

in the darkest hour

He's a bird that flies in your yard

And he won't be back again so put him in your heart

Cause you made him with your love and he flies above

And we both know he was better than this war

Mama is your daughter home or has she to run her time

No my girl has gone downtown carrying a sign

Hurray for the peace parade and the lovers of free will

Free to surrender the need to kill or be killed
