Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye
[Verse 1]
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
Harroo, harroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
Harroo, harroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Oh, my darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

[Verse 2]
Where are your legs that used to run?
Harroo, harroo
Where are your legs that used to run?
Harroo, harroo
Where are your legs that used to run
When first you went to carry a gun?
Now I fear your dancing days are done
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

[Verse 3]
Where are your arms that held me tight?
Harroo, harroo
Where are your arms that held me tight?
Harroo, harroo
Wherе are your arms that held me tight
Whеn first you went to join the fight?
And we'll never, no more, share the night
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
[Verse 4]
They're rolling out the drums again
Harroo, harroo
They're rolling out the drums again
Harroo, harroo
They're rolling out the drums again
They're stirring up the boys and men
And I fear we'll never see the end
Johnny, I hardly knew ye
