When Johnny Comes Marching Home

When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah

We'll give him a hearty welcome then, hurrah, hurrah

The men will cheer, the boys will shout, the ladies, they will all turn out

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

The old church bell peel with joy, hurrah, hurrah

To welcome home our darling boy, hurrah, hurrah

The village lads and lassies say, with roses, they will screw their way

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

Get ready for the jubilee, hurrah, hurrah

We'll give the hero three times three, hurrah, hurrah

The laurel wreath is ready now to place upon his loyal brow

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

Let love and friendship on that day, hurrah, hurrah

Their choicest treasures then display, hurrah, hurrah

And let each one performs him part to fill with joy the warrior's heart

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home
