Lyrics When Johnny Comes Marching Home - Lena Horne

When Johnny Comes Marching Home

When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah
We’ll give him a hearty welcome then, hurrah, Hurrah
The men will cheer, the boys will shout, the ladies they will all turn out
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home.
Get ready for the Jubilee, hurrah, hurrah
We’ll celebrate the victory, hurrah, hurrah
We’ll all join in the big parade and let the soldier have his day
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home.
America, America, when Johnny comes marching home
America, America, when Johnny comes marching home
We’ll sound the horns and beat the drums, salute them for a job well done
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home.
The old church bell will ring with joy, hurrah, hurrah
To welcome home our girls and boys, hurrah, hurrah
'Cause Janey too has done her best, she’s fought as hard as all the rest
She’ll march along when Johnny comes marching home.
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah
We’ll give him a hearty welcome then, hurrah, hurrah
The men will cheer, the boys will shout, the ladies they will all turn out
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home.
Twill be so good to have 'em home, they’ve been so far and gone so long
What a joyful day when Johnny comes marching home.
America, America, when Johnny comes marching home
America, America, when Janey comes marching home
We’ll sound the horns and beat the drums, salute them for a job well done
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home.
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home…
