When Johnny comes marching home again hurrah, hurrah
We'll give him a hearty welcome then hurrah, hurrah
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

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

Get ready for the Jubilee, hurrah, hurrah
We'll give the hero three times three, hurrah, hurrah
The laurel wreath is ready now to place upon his loyal brow.
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.

Let love and friendship on that day, hurrah, hurrah
Their choicest pleasures then display, hurrah, hurrah
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
