The guns and the drums lyrics

The guns and drums

And drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo,

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo,

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns the enemy nearly slew you

Oh my darling dear you look so queer,

Oh Johnny, I hardly knew you.

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 your gun,

Oh, I feel your dancin' days are done,

Oh, Johnny, I hardly knew you.

You haven't a leg, you haven't an arm,

Hurroo, hurroo,

You haven't a leg, you haven't an arm,

Hurroo, hurroo,

You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg,

You're an eyeless boneless chickenless egg,

You'll have to be put with a bowl to beg,

Oh, Johnny, I'm swearing to you.

(Oh, Johnny, I hardly knew you)

They're rolling out their guns again,

Hurroo, hurroo,

They're rolling out their guns again,

Hurroo, hurroo,

They're rolling out their guns again,

But they'll never will take our sons again,

No, they'll never will take our sons again,

Oh, Johnny I'm swearing to you.

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo,

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo,

With your guns and drums

And drums and guns the enemy nearly slew you,

Oh my darling dear you look so queer,

Oh Johnny, I hardly knew you.
