Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya
When on the road to sweet Athy
Hurroo Hurroo
When on the road to sweet Athy
Hurroo Hurro
When on the road to sweet Athy
A stick in the hand, A drop in the Eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew ya
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
When my poor heart you first beguiled
Why did ya run from me and the child?
Johnny I hardly knew ya
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ya
Johnny I hardly knew ya
Where are the legs with which you run
Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the legs with which you run
Hurroo Hurroo
Where are the legs with which you run
When first you went to carry a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
Johnny I hardly knew ya
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ya
Johnny I hardly knew ya
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
Hurroo Hurroo
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
Hurroo Hurroo
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
You're a spinless, boneless, chickenless egg
You'll have to be put with the bowl to beg
Johnny I hardly knew ya
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ya
Johnny I hardly knew ya
I'm happy for to see ya home
Hurroo Hurroo
I'm happy for to see ya home
Hurroo Hurroo
I'm happy for to see ya home
From the isle of Ceylon
Johnny I hardly knew ya
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
Hurroo Hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ya
Johnny I hardly knew ya
Johnny, apenas te conocía
Cuando en el camino a la dulce Athy
Hurroo Hurroo
Cuando en el camino a la dulce Athy
Hurroo Hurro
Cuando en el camino a la dulce Athy
Un palo en la mano, una gota en el ojo
Una doncella dolosa que oí llorar
Johnny, apenas te conocía
¿Dónde están los ojos que parecían tan suaves?
Hurroo Hurroo
¿Dónde están los ojos que parecían tan suaves?
Hurroo Hurroo
¿Dónde están los ojos que parecían tan suaves?
Cuando mi pobre corazón te engañaste por primera vez
¿Por qué huiste de mí y del niño?
Johnny, apenas te conocía
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
Hurroo Hurroo
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
Hurroo Hurroo
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
El enemigo nunca te mató
Johnny, apenas te conocía
¿Dónde están las piernas con las que corres
Hurroo Hurroo
¿Dónde están las piernas con las que corres
Hurroo Hurroo
¿Dónde están las piernas con las que corres
Cuando fuiste por primera vez a llevar un arma
De hecho, tus días de baile han terminado
Johnny, apenas te conocía
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
Hurroo Hurroo
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
Hurroo Hurroo
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
El enemigo nunca te mató
Johnny, apenas te conocía
No tenías un brazo, no tenías una pierna
Hurroo Hurroo
No tenías un brazo, no tenías una pierna
Hurroo Hurroo
No tenías un brazo, no tenías una pierna
Eres un huevo sin espinas, sin hueso y sin pollo
Tendrás que ser puesto con el cuenco para rogar
Johnny, apenas te conocía
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
Hurroo Hurroo
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
Hurroo Hurroo
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
El enemigo nunca te mató
Johnny, apenas te conocía
Me alegra verte en casa
Hurroo Hurroo
Me alegra verte en casa
Hurroo Hurroo
Me alegra verte en casa
Desde la isla de Ceilán
Johnny, apenas te conocía
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
Hurroo Hurroo
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
Hurroo Hurroo
Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
El enemigo nunca te mató
Johnny, apenas te conocía
