			Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye (PD) 1867 Joseph Bryan Geoghegan          Am                                     G While goin’ the road to sweet Athy, aroo, aroo          Am                                          While goin’ the road to sweet Athy, aroo, aroo                                  G While goin’ the road to sweet Athy            F                              E With a stick in me hand and a drop in me eye     Am     G             F         E A doleful demoiselle I heard cry Am Johnny, I hardly knew ye With your guns and drums and drums and guns, aroo, aroo With your guns and drums and drums and guns, aroo, aroo With your guns and drums and drums The enemy nearly slew ye And my darlin’ dear, you look so quear Johnny, I hardly knew ye Where are the legs with which you run - When first you went to carry a gun Indeed your dancin’ days are done Where are the eyes with which you smile - When my poor heart you first beguiled Why did you skedaddle from me and the child Ye haven’t an arm and ye haven’t a leg - You’re an eyeless, boneless, chickenless egg Ye’ll have to be put with a bowl to beg I’m happy for to have you home - Back from the island of Sulloon So high on flesh, so low on bone
