When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again 1918

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 04 Feb 2003

Our boys are of the fighting kind
that win the victory
and they'll bring back the laurels
from afar across the sea.
They fight just like our fathers did
in the days of sixtyone,
they keep right on a fighting till
the victory is won
and when the war is over
and the boys come home again
we'll shout aloud their praises
and we'll sing the sweet refrain.

When Johnnie comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnnie comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll sing glory glory
Hallelujah Hurrah! my boy
we're proud to greet you
Glory glory Hallelujah
When Johnnie comes marching home again.

When Johnnie comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnnie comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll sing glory glory
Hallelujah Hurrah! my boy
we're proud to greet you
Glory glory Hallelujah
When Johnnie comes marching home again.

We'll close up ev'ry business
and we'll have a holiday
and ev'ry one will wear a smile
with hearts so light and gay.
We'll stand along the avenue
with our banners waving high,
we'll shout and wave old glory
while the boys go marching by.
With bands so sweetly playing
ev'rybody's favourite strain,
we'll all join in the chorus
and we'll sing it o'er again.

When Johnnie comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnnie comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll sing glory glory
Hallelujah Hurrah! my boy
we're proud to greet you
Glory glory Hallelujah
When Johnnie comes marching home again.

When Johnnie comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Johnnie comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll sing glory glory
Hallelujah Hurrah! my boy
we're proud to greet you
Glory glory Hallelujah
When Johnnie comes marching home again.
