When Johnny comes
marching home again,
Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give him a
hearty welcome then,
Hurrah, hurrah!
The men will cheer,
the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all
turn out,
And we'll all feel gay,
when Johnny comes marching
home.
The old church bell
will peal with joy,
Hurrah, hurrah!
To welcome home our
darling boy,
Hurrah, hurrah!
The village lads
and lassies say,
With roses they will strew
the way,
And we'll all feel gay,
when Johnny comes marching
home..
Get ready for the
Jubilee,
Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give the hero
three times three,
Hurrah, hurrah!
The laurel wreath
is ready now,
To place upon his loyal
brow,
And we'll all feel gay,
when Johnny comes marching
home..
Let love and friendship
on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest treasures
then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one
perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's
heart,
And we'll all feel gay,
when Johnny comes marching
home.
