Testo Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya - Freshlyground
Testo della canzone Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya (Freshlyground), tratta dall'album The Good Red Earth
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 be gay when
Johnny comes marching home
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
O Johnny, I'm glad to see you home, hurrah! hurrah!
O Johnny, I'm glad to see you home, hurrah! hurrah!
O Johnny, I'm glad to see you home
Back from the island of Sullone
So low in flesh, so high in bone
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
Where are those eyes that used to smile, hurrah! hurrah!
Where are those eyes that used to smile, hurrah! hurrah!
Where are those eyes that used to smile
When my poor heart you first beguiled
Why did you run from me and the child
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
Where are those arms that steered the plough, hurrah! hurrah!
Where are those arms that steered the plough, hurrah! hurrah!
Where are those arms that steered the plough
The fields you worked are barren now
I expect we'll all get by somehow
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
Where are those legs that used to run, hurrah! hurrah!
Where are those legs that used to run, hurrah! hurrah!
Where are those legs that used to run
When first you went to follow the gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg, hurrah! hurrah!
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg, hurrah! hurrah!
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
You're an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg
You'll have to be put in a bowl to beg
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurrah! hurrah!
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
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 be gay when
Johnny comes marching home
