"Cruel War" just came up on my playlist. And I can remember a very, very amusing way I looked this song when I was a kid. No idea if I ever asked my parents the question.
"Your captain will call you, it grieves my heart so / Won't you let me come with you? No, my love, no."
Etc., etc., then getting to, "I love you far better than words can e'er express / Won't you let me come with you? Yes, my love yes."
My thought as a child: "So, if she wanted to win the argument, why didn't she just pick something that rhymed with yes sooner?"
Just struck me as amusing.
