When Johnny Comes Marching Home

When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah,
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah,
The girls will cry and the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all come out,
And we'll all be gay when Johnny comes marching home.

There will be a grand ovation, hurrah, hurrah,
There will be a grand ovation, hurrah, hurrah,
When the train comes steaming into the railway station,
Some folks will be happy, some folks will be sad,
But they'll all be eyes a-glistening everywhere,
When Johnny comes marching home.

While the drums are thundering, hurah, hurrah
Each mother she is wondering, hurrah, hurrah
If her boy's there, if her boy is there,
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah
When Johnny comes marching home.


When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah,
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah,
The girls will cry and the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all come out,
And we'll all be gay when Johnny comes marching home.
