Verse I.

   When Johnny comes marching home again,
   Hur-rah, hur-rah.
   We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
   Hur-rah, hur - rah!
   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.

Verse II.

   The old church bell will peal with joy,
   Hur-rah, hur-rah.
   To welcome home our darling boy,
   Hur-rah, hur - rah!
   The village lads and lassies say,
   With roses they will strew the way.
   And we'll all feel gay when,
   Johnny comes marching  home.

Verse III.

   Get ready for the jubilee,
   Hur-rah, hur-rah.
   We'll give the hero three times three,
   Hur-rah, hur - rah!
   The laurel wreath is ready now,
   To place upon his loyal brow.
   And we'll all feel gay when,
   Johnny comes marching  home.


Verse IV.

   Let love and friendship on that day,
   Hur-rah, hur-rah.
   Their choicest pleasures then display,
   Hur-rah, hur - rah!
   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.
