Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya
The McMiners
While I'm on the road to Athenry
Haroo, Haroo
While I'm on the road to Athenry
Haroo, Haroo
When I'm on the road to Athenry
A stick in me hand and a tear in me eye
I can't see why it's such a crime
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, the Devil nearly slew ya
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
Hungry, starved and nearly dead
Haroo, Haroo
Some corn he stole to fill his guts
A family to care, a love to dare
as a thief he is stared, is that really fair?
Taken away and sent to jail
Johnny, I hardly knew ya
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, the Devil nearly slew ya
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
Avoid the jail and pay the bail
Then join the navy and off you sail
Leave Rosie and roam, your son is home
no shame in leaving them alone
They say it's better than a prison wall
Johnny, I hardly knew ya
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, the Devil nearly slew ya
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, the Devil nearly slew ya
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
Not far away, a spanish flag
They rise ahead with guns in hand
Their ship was sunk, the spanish won
Now nothing can be really done
He's in the brine with a broken spine
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, the Devil nearly slew ya
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, Haroo, Haroo
With their guns and drums, and drums and guns, the Devil nearly slew ya
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
Johnny, I hardly knew ya!
