lyrics

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 glad
When Johnny comes marching home.

The old church bell will peal 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 glad
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 glad
When Johnny comes marching home.

Let love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And we'll all feel glad
When Johnny comes marching home.

When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah! Hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah, hurrah
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew you
Oh my darling dear, You look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya.

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 glad
When Johnny comes marching home.
