Lyrics: While goin' the road to sweet Athy

Hurroo hurroo

While goin' the road to sweet Athy

Hurroo hurroo

Goin' the road to sweet Athy

A stick in me hand, a drop in me eye

A doleful damsel I heard cry

Johnny, I hardly knew ye

With your drums and guns and drums and guns

Hurroo hurroo

With your drums and guns and drums and guns

Hurroo hurroo

With drums and guns and drums and guns

The enemy nearly slew ye

My darling dear, you look so queer

Johnny, I hardly knew ye

Where are your eyes that were so mild?

Hurroo hurroo

Where are your eyes that were so mild?

Hurroo hurroo

Where are your eyes that were so mild

When my heart you so beguiled?

Why did you run from me and the child?

Johnny, I hardly knew ye

Where are your legs that used to run?

Hurroo hurroo

Where are your legs that used to run?

Hurroo hurroo

Where are your legs that used to run

When you went for to carry the gun?

Indeed, your dancing days are done

Johnny, I hardly knew ye

You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg

Hurroo hurroo

You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg

Hurroo hurroo

You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg

You're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg

You'll have to put a bowl out to beg

Johnny, I hardly knew ye

I'm happy for to see you home

Hurroo hurroo

I'm happy for to see you home

Hurroo hurroo

I'm happy for to see you home

All from the island of Ceylon

So low in flesh, so high in bone

Johnny, I hardly knew ye

With your drums and guns and drums and guns

Hurroo hurroo

With your drums and guns and drums and guns

Hurroo hurroo

With drums and guns and drums and guns

The enemy nearly slew ye

My darling dear, you look so queer

Johnny, I hardly knew ye
