Lyrics

Johnny Clem, Johnny Clem
Young and strong and bold
Hero of the Civil War
And only twelve years old
Came the call for volunteers and he was there in line
They just laughed and told the lad no babies would they sign
In the baggage car he hid and to the front he went
There they made him drummer boy of the regiment
Johnny marched through rain and mud with never much to eat
When the cry for battle came upon his drum he beat
Mid the yells and bursting shells did Johnny bravely come
Even though his frightened heart was beating like his drum
Soldiers weary of the war with no heart left to fight
Heard the sound of Johnny's drum a-coming through the night
Johnny's bravery touched their hearts, new courage came to them
There were many battles won thanks to Johnny Clem
Written by: George Goehring, Sylvia Dee
