Johnny's legend was told by his mum
'Bout a war, he didn't return
I'll be back tomorrow, he said
And Johnny went marchin' on
Oh yeah, Johnny goes marchin' on
His grey coat on and a gun in his hand
Johnny fought for his land
They started a war for no reason at all
But Johnny went marchin' on
Oh yeah, Johnny goes marchin' on
Ref.: Johnny was a soldier and he was proud to be
Johnny was a Rebel and he will always be
Yanks were comin' dressed to kill
Face to face, the time's standing still
They went to hell with a Rebel Yell
And Johnny went marchin' on
Oh yeah, Johnny goes marchin' on
Ref.: Johnny was a soldier ...
A shot from behind Johnny was hit
He fell down and he said
I won' t return again but I'll always remain
The legend of Johnny lives on
O yeah, the legend of Johnny lives on
