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

The old church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah
To welcome home our darling boy
Hurrah, hurrah
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah, hurrah
We'll all shine brightly from within
Hurrah, hurrah
And let each one perform some part
And fill with joy the soldier's heart
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

[Instrumental]

Get ready for the jubilee
Hurrah
My loved one on that day I'll see
Hurrah, hurrah
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow
On that joyful day when Johnny comes marching home
