santiano - johnny, i hardly knew ya 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”

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 your eyes that look so mild, hurroo, hurroo?
where are your eyes that look so mild, hurroo, hurroo?
where are your eyes that look so mild
when my heart you so beguiled?
why did ye skedaddle from me and the child?
oh johnny, i hardly knew ye

where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo?
where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo?
where are your legs that used to run
when you went for to carry a gun?
indeed your dancing days are done
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 flesh, so high in bone
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 be put with a bowl to beg
oh johnny, i hardly knew ye

they’re rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo
they’re rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo
they’re rolling out the guns again
but they never will take our sons again
no, they never will take our sons again
johnny, i’m swearing to ye
