Johnny I Hardley Knew You Lyrics - Clancy Brothers

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 ye. 

(): 

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 ye 

Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer 

Johnny I hardly knew ye.

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 and ye haven't a leg, 

Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg 

Ye'll have to put with a bowl out to beg 

Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye 

() 

Where are the legs with which you run, 

hurroo, hurroo 

Where are the legs with which you run, 

hurroo, hurroo 

Where are the legs with which you run, 

When first you went for to carry a gun 

Indeed your dancing days are done 

Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye

I'm happy for to see ye home, 

hurroo, hurroo 

I'm happy for to see ye home, 

hurroo, hurroo 

I'm happy for to see ye home, 

All from the island of Ceylon; 

So low in flesh, so high in bone 

Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye 

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 never slew ye 

Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer 

Johnny I hardly knew ye.
