    Where are your eyes that looked so mild
    Hurro Hurro
    Where are your eyes that looked so mild
    When my poor heart you first beguiled
    Why did you run from me and the child
    Och Johnny I hardly knew ye.
    With drums & guns etc.

    Where are the legs with which you run
    Huroo Huroo
    Where are the legs with which you run
    Huroo Huroo
    Where are the legs with which you run
    When you went to carry a gun
    Indeed your dancing days are done
    Och Johnny I hardly knew ye
    With drums & guns etc.

    It grieved my heart to see you sail
    Huroo Huroo
