F5                 A5                             E5      E5 E5 
     This is the story of Bobby and June 
F5                     A5                                 E5        E5 
     A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon 
B5                                          A5 
     But they fell in love to the sound of guns 
F5                       A5                    E5      E5 E5 
     The year was eightteen sixty-one 
 
The army came looking for men to recruit 

Dressin? boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits 

Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb They said 

You?ll come back a hero or you?ll come back dead 
 A5                   B5 
Stay with me Bobby 
                A5                    B5 
Don?t go away from me now 
                 A5                  B5 
I want you say that you love me 
                 A5                   B5 
Don?t go away from me now 
                     E5      E5 E5 
I want you to stay  

Now Bobby he marched to the eye of the storm 

The blue coats were falling the blood was still warm 

A battle was raging and the only thing in his eyes 

Was the thought of his June and making it home alive 
 
His army outnumbered they started to run 

When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun 

And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain 

He knew that he never and ever would see June again 
 
(Chorus) 

Stay with me Bobby 

Don?t go away from me now 

I want you say that you love me 

Don?t go away from me now 

I want you to stay 
 
    It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound 

    Of someone approaching their boots scraping on the ground 

    As she looked out the window her heart pounded in her breast 
F5                         A5                                  E5       E5
     A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest 
 

C#5               
     She ran out to help ease his pain 
A5 
     He looked up and whispered her name 
C#5                                                                        A5 
     Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled 
                     B5                             
     When he heard his June say 
 
(Chorus) 
Stay with me Bobby 
Don?t go away from me now 
I want you say that you love me 
Don?t go away from me now 
I want you to stay 
I want you to stay
