This is the ORIGINAL version of "Johnny Comes Marching Home," before
it was patriotized.  There are several versions. Tommy Makem is
probably as well known as anyone who sings it.  The name is "Drums and
Guns" or "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye."

     While goin' the road to sweet Athay    Ho-roo, ho-roo
     While goin' the road to sweet Athay    Ho-roo, ho-roo
     While goin' the road to sweet Athay
     A stick in me hand an a drop in me eye
     A doleful damsel I heard cry
     Ach, Johnny I hardly knew ye

        Whi' yer drums and guns and drums and guns
          Ho-roo, ho-roo
        Whi' yer drums and guns and drums and guns
          Ho-roo, ho-roo
        Whi' yer drums and guns and drums and guns
        The enemy nearly slew ya
        Me darlin' dear ya looked so queer
        Ach Johnny I hardly knew ya

     Where are the legs with which ya run... (as above)
  ...when first ya went to carry a gun
     I fear your dancin' days are done
     Ach Johnny I hardly knew ya

     Where are the eyes which were so mild...
  ...when my poor heart you first beguiled
     Why did ya skedaddle from me and the child?
     Ach Johnny I hardly knew ya

     Ya haven't an arm and ya haven't a leg...
  ...You're an eyless, boneless, chickenless egg
     You'll have to gettin a bowl to beg
     [or You'll have to put in a bowl to beg]
     Ach Johnny I hardly knew ya

     I'm happy for to see you home...
  ...All from the Islands of Ceylon
     So low in the flesh, so high in the bone
     Ach Johnny I hardly knew ya

[a modern final verse]

     They're rollin' out the guns again...
  ...but they'll never take my sons again
     no they'll never take my sons again
     Johnny I'm swearin' to ya
