Country Joe McDonald – Maria lyrics

Maria, I'm growing so tired of fighting this war,
Maria, I feel like I just can't go on anymore.
The sounds we make as they're dying
Hearing their screams and their crying
The children, their eyes are weeping
We filled them with pain.

You know the reason I joined up to fight in this war.
You know the reason I refuse to fight anymore.

Maria, please help me, I feel like I'm going insane.
Maria, at night in my dreams I keep calling your name.
After the battle is over
And I am just another soldier
Maria, I'm longing to hold you again in my arms.

You know the reason I joined up to fight in this war.
You know the reason I refuse to fight anymore.
