"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.

Nope, you never asked that we can remember. But it would have been a typical question. :-)
