Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye

When goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
 When goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
 When 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
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums
 The enemy nearly slew ye
 Oh darling dear, ye look so queer
 Johnny I hardly knew ye
 Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
 Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
 Where are the eyes that looked so mild
 When my poor heart you first beguiled
 Why did ye run from me and the child
 Johnny, I hardly knew ye
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums
 The enemy nearly slew ye
 Oh darling dear, ye look so queer
 Johnny I hardly knew ye
 Where are the legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo
 Where are the legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo
 Where are the legs with which you run
 When first you went to carry a gun
 Indeed your dancing days are done
 Johnny, I hardly knew ye
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums
 The enemy nearly slew ye
 Oh darling dear, ye look so queer
 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 eyeless, boneless, chickenless egg
 Ye'll have to be left with a bowl to beg
 Johnny I hardly knew ye
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums
 The enemy nearly slew ye
 Oh my darling dear, ye look so queer
 Johnny I hardly knew ye
 And I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
 Yes I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
 Oh I'm happy for to see ye home
 All from the island of Ceylon
 So low in the flesh, so high in the bone
 Johnny I hardly knew ye
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
 With your drums and guns and guns and drums
 The enemy never slew ye
 Oh darling dear, ye look so queer
 Johnny I hardly knew ye
