When Johnny Comes Marching Home
Words and Music by Louis Lambert
Boston: Henry Tolman, c1863

1.
When Johnny comes marching home again,
	Chorus: Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
	Chorus: Hurrah, hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout,
The ladies, they will all turn out
	Chorus: And we'll all feel gay
	When Johnny comes marching home.

2.
The old church bell will peal with joy,
	Chorus: Hurrah, hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
	Chorus: Hurrah, hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say,
With roses they will strew the way
	Chorus: And we'll all feel gay
	When Johnny comes marching home.

3. 
Get ready for the Jubilee
	Chorus: Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three;
	Chorus: Hurrah, hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now,
To place upon his loyal brow,
	Chorus: And we'll all feel gay
	When Johnny comes marching home.

4. 
Let love and friendship on that day,
	Chorus: Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest treasures then display;
	Chorus: Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
	Chorus: And we'll all feel gay
	When Johnny comes marching home.
