Anita Carter - Johnny I Hardly Knew You Lyrics

With guns and drums and drums and guns hurroo hurroo
With guns and drums and drums and guns hurroo hurroo
With guns and drums and drums and guns the enemy nearly slew ya
Oh Johnny darling you look bad Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are your eyes that were so mild hurroo hurroo
Where are your eyes that were so mild hurroo hurroo
Where are your eyes that were so mild when my heart you first beguiled
Why did you run from me and the child Johnny I hardly knew ya

It's glad I am to see ya home hurroo hurroo
It's glad I am to see ya home hurroo hurroo
Glad I am to see ya home back from the island of Sulloon
So low in flesh so high in bone Johnny I hardly knew ya

Where are your legs that used to run hurroo hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run when first you went to carry a gun
You know your dancing days are done Johnny I hardly knew ya

You haven't an arm you haven't a leg hurroo hurroo
You haven't an arm you haven't a leg hurroo hurroo
You haven't an arm you haven't a leg
You're a hopeless boneless chickenless egg
And you'll have to put with your bowl to beg
Johnny I hardly knew ya

They're rolling out the guns again hurroo hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again hurroo hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again but they'll never take my sons again
No they never will take my sons again Johnny I'm swearing to ya
