When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes
marching home, home.
The old churchbells will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lasses say,
With roses they will strew the way
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes
marching home, 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 royal brow
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes
marching home, home.
Let love and friendship on that day
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Their choicest treasures 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, home.
