Lyrics: When Johnny comes marching home again Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll give him a hearty welcome then Hurrah! Hurrah! Oh, 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 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! Well, the laurel wreath is ready now To place upon his loyal brow And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home In eighteen hundred and sixty-one Hurrah! Hurrah! That was when the war begun Hurrah! Hurrah! In eighteen hundred and sixty-two Both sides were falling to And we'll all drink stone wine When Johnny comes marching home And we'll all drink stone wine When Johnny comes marching home In eighteen hundred and sixty-three Hurrah! Hurrah! Old Abe, he ended slavery Hurrah! Hurrah! In eighteen hundred and sixty-three Old Abe, he ended slavery And we'll all drink stone wine When Johnny comes marching home And we'll all drink stone wine When Johnny comes marching home In eighteen hundred and sixty-four Hurrah! Hurrah! Abe called for five hundred thousand more Hurrah! Hurrah! In eighteen hundred and sixty-five They talked rebellion-strife And we'll all drink stone wine When Johnny comes marching home And we'll all drink stone wine When Johnny comes marching home
