• Johny I Hardly Knew Ya

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.

(Chorus):
With your guns and drums and drums and guns,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
With your guns and drums and drums and guns,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
With your guns and drums and drums and guns,
The enemy nearly slew ye,
Oh my 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 ran from me and the child?
Johnny, I hardly knew ye!

(Chorus)

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!

(Chorus)

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 and ye haven’t a leg,
Ye’re an eyeless, boneless, chickenless egg;
Ye’ll have to be put with a bowl to beg:
Johnny, I hardly knew ye!

(Chorus)

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!

(Chorus)
