Drums And Guns - Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya

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 drop in me eye

A doleful damsel I heard cry

Johnny I hardly knew ya

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 ya

Oh, darling dear, you look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are your eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo

Where are your eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo

Where are your eyes that looked so mild

When my poor heart you so beguiled

Why did ya skedaddle from me and the child?

Johnny, I hardly knew ya

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 ya

Oh, darling dear, you look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ya

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 ya

Oh, darling dear, you look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ya

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 be put with a bowl to beg

Oh, Johnny I hardly knew ya

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 ya

Oh, darling dear, you look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ya

With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo (Johnny)
