  1. Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye

    While going the road to sweet Athy
    Hurro Hurro
    While going the road to sweet Athy
    Hurro Hurro
    While going the road to sweet Athy
    A stick in my hand and a drop in my eye
    A doleful damsel I heard cry
    Ach Johnny I hardly knew ye
    With guns and drums and drums and guns
    The enemy nearly slew ye
    My darling dear you look so queer
    Ach Johnny I hardly knew ye.
    II
    Where are your eyes that looked so wild
    Hurro Hurro
