I think that many times
The songs that we sing as children and grow up with all our lives
We often attribute to having originated right in this country
When more often they would originate in many far-off lands
And such would be the case with the song that we would know as
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home"
In actuality this tune originated in Ireland
With a lyric of an entirely different content
And it was known then as "Johnnie, I Hardly Knew Ye"
When Johnnie comes marchin' 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 be there
When Johnnie comes marchin' home
When Johnnie comes marchin' 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 be there
When Johnnie comes marchin' home
With drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo! Hurroo!
With drums and guns and guns and drums
Hurroo! Hurroo!
With drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy nearly slew ye
Darlin' John, it's been so long
Johnnie, I hardly knew ye
'Tis glad I am to see you home
Hurroo! Hurroo!
'Tis glad I am to see you home
Hurroo! Hurroo!
'Tis glad I am to see you home
My darlin' Johnnie, so pale and wan
So low in cheek and high in bone
Oh, Johnnie, I hardly knew ye
When Johnnie comes marchin' 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 be there
When Johnnie comes marchin' home (Johnnie come marchin' home)
Where are your eyes that were so mild?
Hurroo! Hurroo!
Where are your eyes that were so mild?
Hurroo! Hurroo!
Where are your eyes that were so mild
When my poor heart ye first beguiled?
Why did ye run from me and the child?
Oh, Johnnie, I hardly knew ye
When Johnnie comes marchin' 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 be there
When Johnnie comes marchin' home (Johnnie comes marchin' home)
Where are your legs that used to run?
Hurroo! (Hurroo!) Hurroo! (Hurroo!)
Where are your legs that used to run?
Hurroo! (Hurroo!) Hurroo! (Hurroo!)
Where are your legs that used to run
When first you went to carry a gun?
Indeed your dancin' days are done
Oh, Johnnie, I hardly knew ye
Ye haven't an arm, and ye haven't a leg
Hurroo! (Hurroo!) Hurroo! (Hurroo!)
Ye haven't an arm, and ye haven't a leg
Hurroo! (Hurroo!) Hurroo! (Hurroo!)
Ye haven't an arm, and ye haven't a leg
Ye're an eyeless, boneless, chickenless egg
And ye have to be put with a bowl to beg
Ah, Johnnie, I hardly knew ye
When Johnnie comes marchin' 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 be there
When Johnnie comes marchin' home
When Johnnie comes marchin' 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 be gay
When Johnnie comes marchin' home (When Johnnie comes marchin' home)
