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 ya.

ith 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 ya
Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya.

Where are the eyes that were so mild...
When my poor heart you first beguiled
Oh, why did ye ever leave me and the child
Johnny I hardly knew ya.

Where are the legs with which you run...
When first you went to carry a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
Johnny I hardly knew ya.

You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg...
You're an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg;
You'll have to be put with a bowl to beg:
Johnny I hardly knew ya.

I'm happy for to see ye home...
All from the island of Ceylon;
So low in the flesh, so high in the bone
Johnny I hardly knew ya.

It grieved my heart to see you sail...
Though from my heart you took leg-bail;
Like a cod you're doubled up head and tail,
Johnny I hardly knew ya.

But sad it is to see you so...
And to think of you now as an object of woe,
Your Peggy'll still keep you on as her beau;
Johnny I hardly knew ya.

They're rolling out the guns again...
Searching for strong young Irishmen
But they never will take our sons again
Johnny I swear it to ya.

ith 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 ya
And they never will take our sons again
Johnny I swear it to ya.
