When Johnny Comes Marching Home Words: Credited to the Union Army bandmaster, Patrick S. Gilmore (1863)Music: From Irish street song "Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye" |
When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again, Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll give him a hearty welcome then Hurrah! Hurrah! The men will cheer and 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 will peel with joy Hurrah! Hurrah! To welcome home our darling boy Hurrah! Hurrah! The village lads and lassies say With roses they will strew the 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 perform some part to fill with joy the warrior's heart And we'll all feel gay, When Johnny comes marching home. |
