[D]While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hur[Bm]roo, hurroo
While [Em]goin' the road to sweet Athy, hur[G]roo, hur[Bm]roo
While [Em]goin' the road to [D]sweet Athy
A [C]stick in me hand and a [D]drop in me eye
A doleful damsel [C]I heard cry,
[Em]Johnny I hardly knew ye.

[Em]With your drums and guns and drums and guns, hur[Bm]roo, hurroo
With your [Em]drums and guns and drums and guns, hur[G]roo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and [D]drums and guns
The [C]enemy nearly [Bm]slew ye
Oh my [D]darling dear, Ye [C]look so queer
[Em]Johnny I hardly knew ye.

Where are your eyes that [A]look so mild, hur[Bm]roo, hurroo
Where [Em]are your eyes that were so mild, hur[G]roo, hur[Bm]roo
Where [Em]are your eyes that [D]look so mild
When [C]my heart you [Bm]so beguiled
[D]Why did ye run from [C]me and the child
[Em]Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

[Em]Where are your legs that used to run, hur[Bm]roo, hurroo
Where [Em]are your legs that used to run, hur[G]roo, hur[Bm]roo
Where [Em]are your legs that [D]used to run
When [C]first you went for to [Bm]carry a gun
In[D]deed your dancing [C]days are done
[Em]Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.


[Em]Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hur[Bm]roo, hurroo
Ye [Em]haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hur[G]roo, hur[Bm]roo
Ye [Em]haven't an arm, ye [D]haven't a leg
Ye're an [C]armless, boneless, [Bm]chickenless egg
Ye'll [D]have to put with a [C]bowl out to beg
Oh [Em]Johnny I hardly knew ye.

I'm [Em]happy for to see you home hur[Bm]roo hurroo
Yes I'm [Em]happy for to see you home hur[G]roo hur[Bm]roo
Oh I'm [Em]happy for to see ye [D]home
From [C]the Island [Bm]of Ceylon So [D]low in the flesh, [C]so high in the [Bm]boon.
Johnny [Em]I hardly knew ye.
