When Johnny Comes Marching Home 2nd South Carolina String Band

When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The boys will cheer and the men will shout
And the ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

The old church bell with peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching 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 loyal brow
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching 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
