  • 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
    The ladies they will all turn out
    And we'll all feel gay
    When Johnny comes marching home

    The old church bells will peal 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 perform some part
    To fill with joy the warrior's heart
    And we'll all feel gay
    When Johnny comes marching home Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
