When Johnny comes marching home again,
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
 We'll give him a hearty welcome then
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
 The men will cheer and the boys will shout
 The ladies they will all turn out
 And we'll all feel gay,
 When Johnny comes marching home.
 The old church bell will peal with joy
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
 To welcome home our darling boy
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
 The village lads and lassies say
 With roses they will strew the way,
 And we'll all feel gay
 When Johnny comes marching home.
 Get ready for the Jubilee,
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
 We'll give the hero three times three,
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
 The laurel wreath is ready now
 To place upon his loyal brow
 And we'll all feel gay
 When Johnny comes marching home.
 Let love and friendship on that day,
 Hurrah, hurrah!
 Their choicest treasures then display,
 Hurrah, hurrah!
 And let each one perform some part,
 To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
 And we'll all feel gay
 When Johnny comes marching home
