The Guns and the Drums

Joseph B. Geoghegan

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
