When Johnny Comes Marching Home

When Johnny Comes Marching Home - Douglas Jimerson

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

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

Get ready for the jubilee Hurrah Hurrah

We'll give the heroes three times 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

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

The old Church bell will peal with joy Hurrah Hurrah

To welcome home out darling boy Hurrah Hurrah

The village lads and lassies gay

With roses they will strew the way

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

Let love and friendship on that day

Hurrah hurrah

Their choicest pleasures 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

And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home
