Wild Silk - Jonny I Hardly Knew You lyrics

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 tear 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 your drums and guns and drums and guns, the enemy nearly slew ye Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer, Johnny I hardly knew ye. Where are your eyes that look so mild, hurroo, hurroo Where are your eyes that look so mild, hurroo, hurroo Where are your eyes that look so mild, when my heart you so beguiled Why did ye run from me and the child Oh 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 your drums and guns and drums and guns, the enemy nearly slew ye Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer, Johnny I hardly knew ye. Where are your legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo Where are your legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo Where are your legs with which you run, when you went for to carry a gun Indeed your dancing days are gone Oh 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 your drums and guns 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, ye haven't a leg, Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg Ye'll have to put with a bowl to bed, oh 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 your drums and guns and drums and guns, the enemy nearly slew ye Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer, 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 Sulloon So low in flesh, so high in bone Oh 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 your drums and guns and drums and guns, the enemy nearly slew ye Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer, Johnny I hardly knew ye.
