Gregory The Great Academy - Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye
Misc Unsigned Bands
1st Verse: While goin' the road to sweet Athy, aroo, harroo
           While goin' the road to sweet Athy, harroo, harroo
           While goin' the road to sweet Athy
           A stick in me hand and a tear in me eye
           A doleful damsel I heard cry,
           Johnny I hardly knew ye.

   Chrous: With your drums and guns and guns and drums aroo, haroo
          With your drums and guns and guns and drums haroo, haroo
          With your drums and guns and guns and drums
          The enemy nearly slew ye
          Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer
          Johnny I hardly knew ye.

 2nd Verse:Where are the eyes that looked so mild, arroo, harroo
           Where are the eyes that looked so mild, harroo, harroo
           Where are the eyes that looked so mild
           When my poor heart you first beguiled
           Why did ye run from me and the child
           Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

3rd Verse: Where are your legs with which you run, arroo, harroo
           Where are your legs with which you run, harroo, harroo
           Where are your legs with which you run
           When you went away to carry a gun
           Indeed your dancing days are done
           Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

          4th Verse: It grieved my heart to see you sail, arroo, harroo
          It grieved my heart to see you sail harroo, harroo
          It grieved my heart to see you sail
          Though from my heart you took leg bail
          and like a cod you've doubled up head and tail
          Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.

5th Verse: Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, arroo, harroo
           Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, harroo, harroo
           Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg
           Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
           Ye'll have to be put with a bowl out to beg
           Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.

6th Verse: I'm happy for to see ye home, arroo, harroo
           I'm happy for to see ye home, harroo, harroo
           I'm happy for to see ye home
           All from the island of Sulllone
           So low in flesh, so high in bone
           Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.

7th Verse: But sad as it is to see you so, arroo, harroo
          But sad as it is to see you so harroo, harroo
          But sad as it is to see you so
          I think of you as an object of woe
          Your Peggy'll still keep ye on as her beau
          Johnny I'm swearing to ye.
