When Johnny comes marching home HURRAH HURRAH! Well give him a hearty welcome then HURRAH HURRAH! The men will cheer, the boys will shout And the ladies they will all turn out And well all be gay when Johnny comes marching home
The old churchbell will peel 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 well all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home
Get ready for the jubilee HURRAH HURRAH! Well give the hero three times three HURRAH HURRAH! The laurel wreath is ready now To place upon his loyal brow And well 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 his part To fill with joy the warriors heart And well all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home
