Went a goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo hurroo
Went a goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo hurroo
Went a goin' the road to sweet Athy
Stickin' me hand and a droppin' me eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew you
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Ah, darlin' dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
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 ye first beguiled
Why did ye skedaddle from me and the child
Johnny I hardly knew ye
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Ah, darlin' dear, ye look so queer
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
Johnny I hardly knew ye
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Ah, darlin' 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 and ye haven't a leg
Ye're an eyeless, boneless, chickenless egg
Ye'll have to be put with the bowl to beg
Johnny I hardly knew ye
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Ah, darlin' dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
I'm happy for to see you home, hurroo hurroo
I'm happy for to see you home, hurroo hurroo
I'm happy for to see you home
All from the island of Ceylon
So low in the flesh, so high in the bone
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo hurroo
With yer guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ye
Ah, darlin' dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
