War Resisters in Canada
Tune: Bury Me Not On Lone Prairie
Songwriter: Rose DeShaw
Gaggle: Kingston
War & Peace
(songbook, Rise Up Singing, has chords)
They’ve left behind the USA
Refused to go the army way
They could not carry guns nor kill
They’re seeking peace. They’re coming still.
Goodbye to family and friends
They don’t know where this trail ends
Canada has always stood for peace
Their home’s with us, till war shall cease
