Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye - Karan Casey

While goin' the road to sweet Athy

Hurroo

Hurroo

While goin' the road to sweet Athy

Hurroo

Hurroo

Goin' the road to sweet Athy

A stick in me hand

A drop in me eye

A doleful damsel I heard cry

Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your drums and guns and drums and guns

Hurroo

Hurroo

With your drums and guns and drums and guns

Hurroo

Hurroo

With drums and guns and drums and guns

The enemy nearly slew ye

My darling dear you look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew ye

Where are your eyes that were so mild

Hurroo

Hurroo

Where are your eyes that were so mild

Hurroo

Hurroo

Where are your eyes that were so mild

When my heart you so beguiled

Why did you run from me and the child

Johnny I hardly knew ye

Where are your legs that used to run

Hurroo

Hurroo

Where are your legs that used to run

Hurroo

Hurroo

Where are your legs that used to run

When you went for to carry the gun

Indeed your dancing days are done

Johnny I hardly knew ye

You haven't an arm

You haven't a leg

Hurroo

Hurroo

You haven't an arm

You haven't a leg

Hurroo

Hurroo

You haven't an arm

You haven't a leg

You're an armless

Boneless chickenless egg

You'll have to put a bowl out to beg

Johnny I hardly knew ye

I'm happy for to see you home

Hurroo

Hurroo

I'm happy for to see you home

Hurroo

Hurroo

I'm happy for to see you home

All from the island of ceylon

So low in flesh

So high in bone

Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your drums and guns and drums and guns

Hurroo

Hurroo

With your drums and guns and drums and guns

Hurroo

Hurroo

With drums and guns and drums and guns

The enemy nearly slew ye

My darling dear

You look so queer

Johnny I hardly knew
