While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
|
|
While goin' the road to sweet Athy \\
|
|
A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye \\
|
|
A doleful damsel I heard cry, \\
|
|
Johnny I hardly knew ye. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\
|
|
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
With your guns and drums and drums and guns \\
|
|
The enemy nearly slew ye \\
|
|
Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer \\
|
|
Johnny I hardly knew ye. \\}
|
|
|
|
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 heart you so beguiled? \\
|
|
Why did ye skedaddle from me and the child? \\
|
|
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye. \\
|
|
|
|
Where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
Where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
Where are your legs that used to run \\
|
|
When you went for to carry a gun \\
|
|
Indeed your dancing days are done \\
|
|
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\ }
|
|
|
|
I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
I'm happy for to see ye home \\
|
|
All from the island of Ceylon \\
|
|
So low in flesh, so high in bone \\
|
|
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye. \\
|
|
|
|
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, \\
|
|
Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg, \\
|
|
Ye'll have to be put with a bowl to beg, \\
|
|
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\ }
|
|
|
|
They're rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
They're rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo \\
|
|
They're rolling out the guns again, \\
|
|
But they never will take our sons again, \\
|
|
No they never will take our sons again, \\
|
|
Johnny I'm swearing to ye. |
