Drums and Guns - Johnny I hardly knew Ya Lyrics

While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While 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 ya

With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are your eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your eyes that looked so mild
When my poor heart you so beguiled
Why did ya skedaddle from me and the child?
Johnny, I hardly knew ya

With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya

With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya

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 armless, boneless, chickenless egg
Ye'll have to be put with a bowl to beg
Oh, Johnny I hardly knew ya

With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya

With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo (Johnny)
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ya
Oh, darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya
Oh, darling dear, you look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ya (Johnny)
