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. ith 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 my darling dear, Ye look so queer Johnny I hardly knew ya. Where are the eyes that were so mild... When my poor heart you first beguiled Oh, why did ye ever leave me and the child Johnny I hardly knew ya. Where are the legs with which you run... When first you went to carry a gun Indeed your dancing days are done Johnny I hardly knew ya. You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg... You're an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg; You'll have to be put with a bowl to beg: Johnny I hardly knew ya. I'm happy for to see ye home... All from the island of Ceylon; So low in the flesh, so high in the bone Johnny I hardly knew ya. It grieved my heart to see you sail... Though from my heart you took leg-bail; Like a cod you're doubled up head and tail, Johnny I hardly knew ya. But sad it is to see you so... And to think of you now as an object of woe, Your Peggy'll still keep you on as her beau; Johnny I hardly knew ya. They're rolling out the guns again... Searching for strong young Irishmen But they never will take our sons again Johnny I swear it to ya. ith 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 And they never will take our sons again Johnny I swear it to ya. |
