|
When on the road to sweet Athy, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
When on the road to sweet Athy, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
When on the road to sweet Athy |
|
A stick in the hand, A drop in the eye |
|
A doleful damsel I heard cry |
|
Johnny I hardly knew ya |
|
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
Where are the eyes that looked so mild |
|
When my poor heart you first beguiled |
|
Why did ya run from me and the child |
|
Johnny I hardly knew ya |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
We had guns and drums and drums and guns, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
We had guns and drums and drums and guns, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
We had guns and drums and drums and guns |
|
The enemy never slew ya |
|
Johnny I hardly knew ya |
|
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 |
|
Johnny I hardly knew ya |
|
[Chorus] |
|
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg |
|
You're a armless, boneless, chickenless egg |
|
You'll have to be put with the bowl to beg |
|
Johnny I hardly knew ya |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I'm happy for to see ya home, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
I'm happy for to see ya home, |
|
Hurroo Hurroo |
|
I'm happy for to see ya home |
|
From the isle of Ceylon |
|
Johnny I hardly knew ya |
|
[Chorus] |
