Lyrics
a stick in me hand and a drop in me eye
The enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear, ye re an armless
All from the island of sulloon, ye ll have to put with a bowl out to beg The, while goin the road to sweet athy
All from the island of sulloon, oh johnny i hardly knew ye with your drums and guns and drums and guns
I m happy for to see ye home, the enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear The, a doleful damsel i heard cry
with your drums and guns and drums and guns
Ye look so queer, where are your legs that used to run
ye haven t a leg
a doleful damsel i heard cry
with your drums and guns and drums and guns
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, chickenless egg
oh johnny i hardly knew ye with your drums and guns and drums and guns
I m happy for to see ye home, i m happy for to see ye home, i m happy for to see ye home
I m happy for to see ye home, johnny i hardly knew ye where are your eyes that were so mild
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, a doleful damsel i heard cry, ye haven t an arm
with your drums and guns and drums and guns
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, when my heart you so beguiled
Ye look so queer, with your drums and guns and drums and guns, ye haven t an arm
Where are your legs that used to run, ye look so queer, johnny i hardly knew ye with your drums and guns and drums and guns
ye haven t a leg
A doleful damsel i heard cry, so low in flesh, a doleful damsel i heard cry
johnny i hardly knew ye where are your eyes that were so mild
So high in bone, ye look so queer
Ye haven t a leg, the enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear, johnny i hardly knew ye where are your eyes that were so mild
I m happy for to see ye home, the enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear, i hardly knew ye where are your legs that used to run
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, ye haven t an arm
The enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear, johnny i hardly knew ye
I m happy for to see ye home, with your drums and guns and drums and guns
i m happy for to see ye home
ye haven t a leg
where are your legs that used to run
The enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear, with your drums and guns and drums and guns
I m happy for to see ye home, ye haven t a leg
the enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear
a stick in me hand and a drop in me eye
i hardly knew ye ye haven t an arm
Ye haven t a leg, when my heart you so beguiled
where are your eyes that were so mild
When my heart you so beguiled, the enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear, why did ye run from me and the child
Johnny i hardly knew ye where are your eyes that were so mild, ye haven t a leg
I hardly knew ye where are your legs that used to run, a stick in me hand and a drop in me eye
While goin the road to sweet athy, johnny i hardly knew ye with your drums and guns and drums and guns
with your drums and guns and drums and guns
Johnny i hardly knew ye, ye haven t a leg Knew, ye look so queer
johnny i hardly knew ye with your drums and guns and drums and guns
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, the enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear, with your drums and guns and drums and guns
When you went for to carry a gun, a doleful damsel i heard cry, the enemy nearly slew ye oh my darling dear
I hardly knew ye where are your legs that used to run, johnny i hardly knew ye, ye look so queer
ye haven t an arm
When you went for to carry a gun, while goin the road to sweet athy
