Johnny， I Hardly Knew You

Johnny, I Hardly Knew You - Anita Carter

With guns and drums and drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With guns and drums and drums and guns hurroo hurroo

With guns and drums and drums and guns the enemy nearly slew ya

Oh Johnny darling you look bad Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are your eyes that were so mild hurroo hurroo

Where are your eyes that were so mild hurroo hurroo

Where are your eyes that were so mild when my heart you first beguiled

Why did you run from me and the child Johnny I hardly knew ya

It's glad I am to see ya home hurroo hurroo

It's glad I am to see ya home hurroo hurroo

Glad I am to see ya home back from the island of Sulloon

So low in flesh so high in bone Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are your legs that used to run hurroo hurroo

Where are your legs that used to run hurroo hurroo

Where are your legs that used to run when first you went to carry a gun

You know your dancing days are done Johnny I hardly knew ya

You haven't an arm you haven't a leg hurroo hurroo

You haven't an arm you haven't a leg hurroo hurroo

You haven't an arm you haven't a leg

You're a hopeless boneless chickenless egg

And you'll have to be put with your bowl to beg

Johnny I hardly knew ya

They're rolling out the guns again hurroo hurroo

They're rolling out the guns again hurroo hurroo

They're rolling out the guns again but they'll never take my sons again

No they never will take my sons again Johnny I'm swearing to ya
