When Johnny comes marching home again Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then Hurrah, hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout
And the laides they will all turn out
And we'll all be gay when Johnny comes marching home
The old churchbell will peel 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 performe some part
To fill with joy the warriors heart
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home
