Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya

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 ya run from me and the child Johnny I hardly knew ya [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus]
