johnny i hardly knew you - the clancy brothers & tommy makem lyrics

Loading...

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 ye

[chorus]
with 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 ye
oh my darling dear, ye look so queer
johnny i hardly knew ye

where are the eyes that were so mild, hurroo, hurroo
where are the eyes that were so mild, hurroo, hurroo
where are the eyes that were so mild
when my heart you so beguiled
why did ye sci-daddle from me and the child
oh johnny, i hardly knew ye

where are the legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo
where are the legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo
where are the legs with which you run
when first you went to carry a gun
indeed your dancing days are done
oh johnny, i hardly knew ye

ye haven’t an arm, ye haven’t a leg, hurroo, hurroo
ye haven’t an arm, ye haven’t a leg, hurroo, hurroo
ye haven’t an arm, ye haven’t a leg
ye’re an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
ye’ll have to put with a bowl out to beg
oh johnny i hardly knew ye

i’m happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
i’m happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
i’m happy for to see ye home
all from the island of ceylon;
so low in the flesh, so high in the bone
oh johnny i hardly knew ye

[chorus]
the enemy never slew ye
oh, my darling dear you look so queer
