    Lyrics
    When Johnny Comes Marching Home (American)
    & Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye (Irish)
    traditional with additional words by Chuck Phillips

    When Johnny comes marching 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 feel glad
    When Johnny comes marching home.

    The old church bells will ring with joy, Hurrah! Hurrah!
    To welcome home our soldier boy, Hurrah! Hurrah!
    The village boys and girls wave
    With roses they will strew the way,
    And we'll all feel glad
    When Johnny comes marching home.

    With your drums and guns and drums and guns, Hurrah! Hurrah!
    With your drums and guns and drums and guns, Hurrah! Hurrah!
    With their tanks and bombs and ships and planes
    The enemy almost slaughtered you
    My darling boy, you look so strange
    Johnny I hardly knew you

    Where are your legs that used to run, Hurrah! Hurrah!
    Where are your legs that used to run, Hurrah! Hurrah!
    Where are your legs that used to run
    When you went to war to carry a gun
    Indeed your dancing days are done
    Johnny, I hardly knew you

    They're rolling out the guns again, Hurrah! Hurrah!
    They're rolling out the guns again, Hurrah! Hurrah!
    They're rolling out the guns again
    But they'll never take our sons again
    No they'll never take our sons again
    Johnny I'm swearing to you
