WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME
(A Civil War Song)
by Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore
 

           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.
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
(Some music)

          The old church bells 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.
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
(Some music)

                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.
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
(Some music)

            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.
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
           (Some music)
