[Verse 1: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
Oh my name it ain't nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I’s taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that the land that I live in
Has God on its side

[Verse 2: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Ah, the country was young
With God on its side

[Verse 3: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
The Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I’s made to mеmorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their sidе
[Verse 4: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
The First World War boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fightin'
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don’t count the dead
When God’s on your side

[Verse 5: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
The Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And then we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side

[Verse 6: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
I’ve learned to hate the Russians
All through my whole life
If another war comes
It’s them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side
[Verse 7: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
But now we got weapons
Of chemical dust
If fire them we’re forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And ya' never ask questions
When God’s on your side

[Verse 8: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
Through many dark hour
I been thinking about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can’t think for you
You’ll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side

[Verse 9: Bob Dylan & Joan Baez]
So now as I’m leavin'
I’m weary as Hell
The confusion I’m feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And they fall to the floor
That if God’s on our side
He’ll stop the next war
