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 the hand and a drop in the eye
|
|
|
|
|
A doleful damsel I heard cry,
|
|
|
|
|
Johnny I hardly knew ye!

\beginchorus
|
|
|
|
|
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, Hurroo ! Hurroo ! (bis)
|
|
|
|
|
With your drums and guns and drums and guns,
|
|
|
|
|
The enemy nearly slew ye
|
|
|
|
|
Oh me darling dear, Ye look so queer
|
|

Johnny I hardly knew ye

\beginverse
|
|
|
|
|
Where are the eyes that look so mild, Hurroo ! Hurroo ! (bis)
|
|
|
|
|
Where are the eyes that look so mild
|
|
|
|
|
When my poor heart you so beguiled
|
|
|
|
|
Why did ye skedaddle from me and the child
|
|
|
|
|
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

\beginverse
|
|
|
|
|
Where are the legs with which ye run, Hurroo ! Hurroo ! (bis)
|
|
|
|
|
Where are the legs with which ye run
|
|
|
|
|
When ye went for to carry a gun
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed your dancing days are done
|
|
|
|
|
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

|
|
|
|
Ye haven't an arm, Ye haven't a leg, Hurroo ! Hurroo ! (bis)
|
|
|
|
|
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg
|
|
|
|
|
Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
|
|
|
|
|
Ye'll have to be put in a bowl to beg
|
|
|
|
|
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.

I'm happy for to see ye home, Hurroo ! Hurroo ! (bis)
|
|
|
|
|
I'm happy for to see ye home
|
|
|
|
|
All from the island of Sulloon
|
|
|
|
|
So low in flesh, so high in bone
|
|
|
|
|
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.
