When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home!
The old church bell will peel with joy,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say,
With roses threw there way,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home!
Get ready for the jubilee,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three-times-three,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
The Laurel wreath is ready now,
To place upon his loyal brow,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home!
Let love and friendship upon that day,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
Let choices treasures then display,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To feel with joy the warrior's heart,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home!
When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
Hurrah, Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home!
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home!
