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 ye
My darling dear you looked so queer
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
Before you left to carry a gun
I fear your dancing days are done
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 did beguile
And why did ye run from me and the child
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 eyeless, boneless, chickenless egg
And you'll have to be put with the bowl to beg
Johnny I hardly knew ye
They're rolling out the guns again
Hurroo, hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again
Hurroo, hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again
But they won't take back our sons again
No, they'll never take back our sons again
Johnny I'm swearing to ye
