Lyrics by:Mark Nissen/Hartmut Krech
Composed by:Mark Nissen/Hartmut Krech
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
