Tossers Johnny I Lyrics

When gone the road to sweet athy,
Hurroo, hurroo,
When gone the road to sweet athy,
Hurroo, hurroo
When gone the road to sweet athy,
With a stick in my hand, a drop in my eye.
Oh, don't you love, now don't you cry,
Johnny i hardly knew a.

Chorus:
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo,
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo,
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
The enemy nearly slew you,
My darling dear, you look so queer,
Johnny I hardly knew you.

Where are the eyes that looked so mild,...etc. (x3)
When you my poor heart first beguiled,
Why did you skedaddle from me and the child,
Johnny i hardly knew you.

With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo,
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo,
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
The enemy nearly slew you,
My darling dear, you look so queer,
Johnny I hardly knew you.

Where are the legs with which you run,...etc. (x3)
Before you went to carry a gun, Indeed you dancing days are done,
Johnny i hardly knew you.

With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo,
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo,
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
The enemy nearly slew you,
My darling dear, you look so queer,
Johnny I hardly knew you.

You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg,...etc. (x3)
You're an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg,
You'll have to put out a bowl to beg,
Johnny i hardley knew you.

With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo,
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
Hurroo, hurroo,
With your guns & drums & drums & guns
The enemy nearly slew you,
My darling dear, you look so queer,
Johnny I hardly knew you.

I'm happy for to see you home...
Hurrop, hurroo
Lord, we're happy for to see you home
Yeah, we're happy for to see you home
Though indeed you cannot see your home
Why on earth were you inclined to roam?
Johnny, I hardly knew ya...
