Muziek: 'Johnny Fill Up the Bowl', John J. Daly
- When Johnny comes marching home again,
hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
hurrah, hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout.
The ladies they will all turn out.
And we'll all feel gay when
Johnny comes marching home. - The old church bells will peal with joy,
to welcome home our darling boy.
The village lads and lasses 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 royal brow.
- Let love and friendship on that day,
their choicest treasures then display.
And let each one perform his part
to fill with joy the warrior's heart.
