Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye歌词

Here is a song that's been 250 years old,
and,maybe it's still relevant today——
Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye
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
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 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 heart you so beguiled
Why did ye run from me and the child
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 darling dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
Where are the legs that used to run,
hurroo, hurroo
Where are the legs that used to run
hurroo, hurroo
Where are the legs that used to run,
When you went for to carry a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
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 darling dear, ye look so queer
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 be left with a bowl out to beg
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 darling dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
and I'm happy for to see ye home,
hurroo, hurroo
Yes,I'm happy for to see ye home,
hurroo, hurroo
Oh I'm happy for to see ye home,
All from the island of Sulloon;
So low in flesh, so high in bone
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 neaver slew ye
Oh darling dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
