Teufelstanz - Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya lyrics

Your rating:

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 you 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!"

"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!"
