When I'm going the road to Sweden nigh, hurroo, hurroo When I'm going the road to Sweden nigh, hurroo, hurroo When I'm going the road to Sweden nigh A stick in my hand and a drop in my eye A doleful damsel I heard cry "Johnny I hardly knew ye." With your drums and guns and drums and drums, hurroo, hurroo With your drums and guns and drums and drums, hurroo, hurroo With your drums and guns and drums and drums The enemy nearly slew ye Oh darling dear ye look so queer 'Faith Johnny I hardly knew ye." Where are your eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo Where are your eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo Where are your eyes that looked so mild When my heart was so beguiled? Why did you skedaddle from me and the child? Why, Johnny I hardly knew ye With your drums and guns and drums and drums, hurroo, hurroo With your drums and guns and your guns and your drums With your drums and guns and drums and drums, hurroo, hurroo With your drums and guns and your guns and your drums With your drums and guns and drums and drums The enemy nearly slew ye Oh darling dear ye look so queer 'Faith Johnny I hardly knew ye Where are the legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo Where are the legs, where are the legs Where are the legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo The legs with which you run Where are the legs with which you run When you went for to carry a gun? Indeed your dancing days are done Why, Johnny I hardly knew ye With your drums and guns and drums and drums, hurroo, hurroo With your drums and your guns and your guns and your drums With your drums and guns and drums and drums, hurroo, hurroo With your drums and guns and your guns and your drums With your drums and guns and drums and drums The enemy nearly slew ye Oh darling dear ye look so queer Johnny, Johnny, Johnny 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 From the ardent swamps of Rome So low in flesh, so high in bone 'Faith Johnny I hardly knew ye 'Faith Johnny I hardly knew ye With your drum With your gun With your gun With your drum With your gun With your gun With your gun With your drum With your drum With your gun With your drum With your gun With your drum With your gun Why darling dear ye look so queer Johnny I hardly knew ye
