When on the road to sweet Athy,Hurroo HurrooWhen on the road to sweet Athy,Hurroo HurrooWhen on the road to sweet AthyA stick in the hand, A drop in the eyeA doleful damsel I heard cryJohnny I hardly knew yaWhere are the eyes that looked so mild,Hurroo HurrooWhere are the eyes that looked so mild,Hurroo HurrooWhere are the eyes that looked so mildWhen my poor heart you first beguiledWhy did ya run from me and the childJohnny I hardly knew ya[Chorus:]We had guns and drums and drums and guns,Hurroo HurrooWe had guns and drums and drums and guns,Hurroo HurrooWe had guns and drums and drums and gunsThe enemy never slew yaJohnny I hardly knew yaWhere are the legs with which you run,Hurroo HurrooWhere are the legs with which you run,Hurroo HurrooWhere are the legs with which you run,When first you went to carry a gunIndeed your dancing days are doneJohnny I hardly knew ya[Chorus]You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg,Hurroo HurrooYou hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg,Hurroo HurrooYou hadn't an arm, you hadn't a legYou're a spinless, boneless, chickenless eggYou'll Have to be put with the bowl to begJohnny I hardly knew ya[Chorus]
