Connemara Stone Company Princess Royal - Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye
While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo
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.
With drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo,
With your drums and guns and drums and guns,
The enemy nearly slew ye
And my darling my dear, Ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye.
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are theeyes that looked so mild, hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild,
When my heart you so beguiled
Why did ye run from me and the child
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye
With drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo, hurroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums, hurroo,
With your drums and guns and drums and guns,
The enemy nearly slew ye
And my darling my dear, Ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye.
