Текст в издании 1888 года[1].
While going the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
While going the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
While going the road to sweet Athy,
A stick in my hand and a drop in my eye,
A doleful damsel I heard cry: —
" Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
With drums and guns, and guns and drums.
The enemy nearly slew ye,
My darling dear, you look so queer,
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye ! "
" Where are your eyes that looked so mild ?
Hurroo ! hurroo !
Where are your eyes that looked so mild ?
Hurroo ! hurroo !
Where are your eyes that looked so mild,
When my poor heart you first beguiled ?
Why did you run out from me and the child ?
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With drums, etc.
" 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 you went to carry a gun ? —
Indeed, your dancing days are done !
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With your drums, etc.
"It grieved my heart to see you sail,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
It grieved my heart to see you sail,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
It grieved my heart to see you sail,
Though from my heart you took leg bail, —
Like a cod you’re doubled up head and tail.
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With drums, etc.
" You haven’t an arm and you haven’t a leg,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
You haven’t an arm and you haven’t a leg,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
You haven’t an arm and you haven’t a leg,
You’re an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg ;
You’ll have to be put in a bowl to beg :
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With drums, etc.
" I’m happy for to see you home,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
I’m happy for to see you home,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
I’m happy for to see you home,
All from the island of Sulloon,*
So low in flesh, so high in bone,
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With drums, etc.
« But sad as it is to see you so,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
But sad as it is to see you so,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
But sad as it is to see you so,
And to think of you now as an object of woe,
Your Peggy’ll still keep ye on as her beau ;
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
» With drums and guns, and guns and drums,
The enemy nearly slew ye,
My darling dear, you look so queer,
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye ! " |

When goin' the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
When goin' the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
When goin' the road to sweet Athy,
A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye,
A doleful damsel I heard cry,
Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
(Chorus):
With your guns and drums and drums and guns,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
With your guns and drums and drums and guns,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
With your guns and drums and drums and guns,
The enemy nearly slew ye,
Oh my darling dear, ye look so queer,
Johnny, I hardly knew ye!
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 ye sceddadle from me and the child?
Johnny, I hardly knew ye!
(Chorus)
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 ye!
(Chorus)
Ye haven’t an arm, ye haven’t a leg,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
Ye haven’t an arm, ye haven’t a leg,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
Ye haven’t an arm and ye haven’t a leg,
Ye’re an eyeless, boneless, chickenless egg;
Ye’ll have to be put with a bowl to beg:
Johnny, I hardly knew ye!
(Chorus)
I’m happy for to see ye home,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
I’m happy for to see ye home,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
I’m happy for to see ye home,
All from the island of Sulloon,
So low in the flesh, so high in the bone,
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye!
