    Och Johnny I hardly knew ye.
    VI
    I'm happy to see you home Huroo Huroo
    I'm happy to see you home Huroo Huroo
    I'm happy to see you home
    All from the island of Sulline
    So low in flesh so high in bone
    Och Johnny I hardly knew ye.
    VII
    But sad as it is to see you so Huroo Huroo
    But sad as it is to see you so Huroo Huroo
    But sad as it is to see you so
    And to think of you now as an object of woe
    Your Peggy will still keep you on as her bow
    Och Johnny I hardly knew ye.
