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 tear 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 my darling dear, Ye look so ***
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 heart you so beguiled
Why did ye scadaddle 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 to carry a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
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 Sulloon
So low in the flesh, so high in the 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 put with
a
bowl out to beg Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.
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'll never will take my sons again
No they'll never will take my sons again Johnny I'm swearing to ye.
