When Johnny Comes Marching Home

When Johnny comes marching home.
When Johnny comes marching home again:
We’ll give him a hearty welcome then:
The men will cheer, the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out,
The old church bell will peal with joy:
To welcome home our darling boy;
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,—
Get ready for the jubilee:
We’ll give the hero three times three;
The laurel wreath is ready now,—
To place upon his loyal brow—
Let love and friendship on that day—
Their choicest treasures then display:
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warriors heart,
