Johnny I lyrics
by The Tossers
When gone the road to sweet athy
Hurroo, hurroo
When gone the road to sweet athy
Hurroo, hurroo
When gone the road to sweet athy
With a stick in my hand, a drop in my eye
Oh, don't you love, now don't you cry
Johnny i hardly knew a
Chorus:
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
The enemy nearly slew you
My darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew you
Where are the eyes that looked so mild,...etc. (x3)
When you my poor heart first beguiled
Why did you skedaddle from me and the child
Johnny i hardly knew you
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
The enemy nearly slew you
My darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew you
Where are the legs with which you run,...etc. (x3)
Before you went to carry a gun
Indeed you dancing days are done
Johnny i hardly knew you
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
The enemy nearly slew you
My darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew you
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg,...etc. (x3)
You're an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg
You'll have to put out a bowl to beg
Johnny i hardley knew you
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
The enemy nearly slew you
My darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew you
I'm happy for to see you home...
Hurrop, hurroo
Lord, we're happy for to see you home
Yeah, we're happy for to see you home
Though indeed you cannot see your home
Why on earth were you inclined to roam?
Johnny, I hardly knew ya...
