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 darling dear ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye

Where are your eyes that were so mild hurroo hurroo

Where are your eyes that were so mild hurroo hurroo

Where are your eyes that were so mild
When my heart you so beguiled
Why did ye skedaddle from me and the child
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 darling dear ye look so queer
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 darling dear ye look so queer
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
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 darling dear ye look so queer
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 darling dear ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
Oh darling dear ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
