When Johnny Comes Marching Home

When Johnny comes marching home again

Hurrah, hurrah

We'll give him a hearty welcome then

Hurrah, hurrah

The men will cheer and the boys will shout

The ladies, they will all turn out

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

The old church bell will peal with joy

Hurrah

To welcome home our darling boy

Hurrah, hurrah

The village lads and lassies say

With roses they will strew the way

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

When Johnny comes marching home again

Hurrah, hurrah

We'll all shine brightly from within

Hurrah, hurrah

And let each one perform some part

And fill with joy the soldier's heart

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

Get ready for the jubilee

Hurrah

My loved one on that day I'll see

Hurrah, hurrah

The laurel wreath is ready now

To place upon his loyal brow

On that joyful day when Johnny comes marching home
