When goin' the road to sweet Athy, Hurroo, hurroo! When goin' the road to sweet Athy, Hurroo, hurroo! When 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".
Chorus: With your drums and guns and guns and drums, Hurroo, hurroo! With your drums and guns and guns and drums, Hurroo, hurroo! With your drums and guns and guns and drums The enemy nearly slew ye. Oh darling 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 you first beguiled? Why did ye run from me and the child? Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)
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 ironless, boneless, chickenless egg Ye'll have to be left with a bowl to beg. Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
(Chorus)
But I'm happy for to see ye home. Hurroo, hurroo! Yes, I'm happy for to see ye home. Hurroo, hurroo! Oh, I'm happy for to see ye home All from the island of Ceylon. So low in flesh, so high in bone. Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
With your drums and guns and guns and drums, Hurroo, hurroo! With your drums and guns and guns and drums, Hurroo, hurroo! With your drums and guns and guns and drums The enemy never slew ye. Oh darling dear, ye look so queer, Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
