Track 5- Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier

Date:1990
This song is about how a soldier went off to war and left his lover behind. This singer and songwriter offers the listener the historical perspective of how a lover typically acted when their husband went to war. It is short song but has a strong meaning but it is not my style of music. This song allows us to learn that that is what probably typical of a man to go to war and leave someone behind that is dear to them. This is probably an example of what happened in King Philip's War to the New Englanders.
