Chorus:
Stay in the field,
Stay in the field,
Stay in the field,
Till the war is ended.

1 If religion was a thing that money could buy,
Till the war is ended,
The rich would live and the poor would die,
Till the war is ended. [Chorus]

2 But I thank God that is not so,
Till the war is ended,
For the rich and the poor alike must go,
Till the war is ended. [Chorus]

3 I aint been to heav'n but I've been told,
Till the war is ended,
The gates are pearl and the streets are gold,
Till the war is ended. [Chorus]
