Handsome Johnny |
Hey, look yonder, tell me what’s that you see |
Marching to the fields of Concord? |
Looks like Handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand |
Marching to the Concord war, hey, marching to the Concord war |
Hey, look yonder, tell me what’s that you see |
Marching to the fields of Gettysburg? |
Looks like Handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand |
Marching to the Gettysburg war, hey, marching to the Gettysburg war |
Hey, it’s a long hard road, it’s a long hard road |
It’s a long hard road, hey, before we’ll be free |
Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see |
Marching to the fields of Dunkirk? |
Looks like Handsome Johnny with a carbine in his hand |
Marching to the Dunkirk war, hey, marching to the Dunkirk war |
Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see |
Marching to the fields of Korea? |
Looks like Handsome Johnny with an M1 in his hand |
Marching to the Korean war, hey, marching to the Korean war |
Hey, it’s a long hard road, it’s a long hard road |
It’s a long hard road, hey, before we’ll be free |
Hey, before we’ll be free |
Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see |
Marching to the fields of Vietnam? |
Looks like Handsome Johnny with an M15 |
Marching to the Vietnam war, hey, marching to the Vietnam war |
Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see |
Marching to the fields of Birmingham? |
Looks like Handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist |
Marching to the Birmingham war, hey, marching to the Birmingham war |
Hey, what’s the use of singing this song |
Some of you are not even listening |
Tell me what it is we’ve got to do, wait for our fields to start glistening |
Hey, wait for the bullets to start whistling |
Hey, here comes a hydrogen bomb and here comes a guided missile |
Here comes a hydrogen bomb, I can almost hear its whistle |
I can almost hear its whistle |
