When Johnny Comes Marching Home.

Air- "Johnny fill up the bowl."
Music published by Henry Tolman & Co., Boston.

When Johnny comes marching home again;
Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then:
Hurrah, hurrah!
The men will cheer, 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 treasures then display:
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warriors heart.
