Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye

歌詞

I'm goin' the road to sweet Athy, Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. I'm goin' the road to sweet Athy, Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. I'm 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 ye." Chorus With your guns and drums and drums and guns, Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. Your guns and drums and drums and guns, Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. Your guns and drums and drums and guns, The enemy nearly slew ye. And darlin' dear, you look so queer, Johnny, I hardly knew ye. Where are the eyes that looked so mild? Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. Where are the eyes that looked so mild? Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. When my poor heart you first beguiled? Why did you skeedaddle from me and the child? Johnny, I hardly knew ye. (Chorus) Where are the legs with which ye run? Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. Where are the legs with which ye run? Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. Where are the legs with which ye run When first you went to carry a gun? Indeed, your dancin' days are done. Johnny, I hardly knew ye. (Chorus) Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. Ye haven't an arm and ye haven't a leg, You're an eyeless, boneless, chickenless egg, You'll have to be put in a bowl to beg. Johnny, I hardly knew ye. (Chorus) I'm happy for to see you home, Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. I'm happy for to see you home, Hoo-roo, hoo-roo. I'm happy for to see you home, All from the islands of Ceylon, So low in the flesh, so high in the bone. Johnny, I hardly knew ye. (Chorus)
