When Johnny Comes Marching Home Lyrics
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! 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
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 on that day
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part
To fill with joy the warrior's heart
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home
