When Johnny Comes Marching Home - Lyrics
Verse 1:
When Johnny comes marching home
To the sweet music of his drum
With the darlings of his heart
Will follow him to the end
Chorus:
And we'll be there to welcome him
With flowers and with songs
When Johnny comes marching home
Oh how we'll be so proud
Verse 2:
When the battle's over
And the sun is shining bright
He'll be there to cheer us on
With his sword uplifted high
Chorus:
And we'll be there to welcome him
With flowers and with songs
When Johnny comes marching home
Oh how we'll be so proud
Bridge:
Oh the tears will fall in streams
As we wave our hankies free
But we'll smile and we'll be brave
When our Johnny comes marching home to me
Chorus:
And we'll be there to welcome him
With flowers and with songs
When Johnny comes marching home
Oh how we'll be so proud
Outro:
When Johnny comes marching home
Our hearts will beat as one
Our love will be his shield
And our arms will be his home.
