Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye The Irish Rovers

[Verse 1]
When goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
When goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
When 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 drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy nearly slew ye
Oh darling dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye

[Verse 2]
Where are the eyes that looked so mild? Hurroo, hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild? Hurroo, hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
When my poor heart you first beguiled?
Why did ye run from me and the child?
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye

[Chorus]
With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and guns and drums
The enemy nearly slew ye
Oh darling dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye
