Songtext von Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye

While goin' the road to sweet Athy Hurroo hurroo While goin' the road to sweet Athy Hurroo hurroo Goin' the road to sweet Athy A stick in me hand, a drop in me eye A doleful damsel I heard cry Johnny, I hardly knew ye With your drums and guns and drums and guns Hurroo hurroo With your drums and guns and drums and guns Hurroo hurroo With drums and guns and drums and guns The enemy nearly slew ye My darling dear, you look so queer Johnny, I hardly knew ye Where are your eyes that were so mild? Hurroo hurroo Where are your eyes that were so mild? Hurroo hurroo Where are your eyes that were so mild When my heart you so beguiled? Why did you run from me and the child? Johnny, I hardly knew ye Where are your legs that used to run? Hurroo hurroo Where are your legs that used to run? Hurroo hurroo Where are your legs that used to run When you went for to carry the gun? Indeed, your dancing days are done Johnny, I hardly knew ye You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg Hurroo hurroo You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg Hurroo hurroo You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg You're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg You'll have to put a bowl out to beg Johnny, I hardly knew ye I'm happy for to see you home Hurroo hurroo I'm happy for to see you home Hurroo hurroo I'm happy for to see you home All from the island of Ceylon So low in flesh, so high in bone Johnny, I hardly knew ye With your drums and guns and drums and guns Hurroo hurroo With your drums and guns and drums and guns Hurroo hurroo With drums and guns and drums and guns The enemy nearly slew ye My darling dear, you look so queer Johnny, I hardly knew ye 1
