Dropkick Murphys – Johny, I Hardly Knew Ya 0

When on the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo! Hurroo!
When on the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo! Hurroo!
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 spineless, 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!

Im happy for to see ya home,
Hurroo! Hurroo!
Im happy for to see ya home,
Hurroo! Hurroo!
Im 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!
