Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye
"Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye" ("Джонни, я с трудом тебя узнала", другие варианты названия — "Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye" и "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya") — популярная ирландская народная антивоенная песня. Она появилась в начале XIX века, когда ирландские войска служили Британской Ост-Индской торговой компании. В песне говорится о солдатах из местечка Атай (Athy) в графстве Килдэр, сражавшихся на Цейлоне (Sulloon) (в настоящее время — Шри-Ланка). Песня приобрела популярность, появившись в составе альбома "The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem". записанного ирландскими музыкантами The Clancy Brothers и Tommy Makem в 1961 году. Широко известна версия кельтик-панк группы Dropkick Murphys, вышедшая в их альбоме "The Meanest of Times" в 2007 году, а в 2008 выпущенная отдельным синглом.

Hey guys, I liked the Irish Rovers version of "Johnny I hardly knew ye", an antiwar song and lament from the 1700's. Hope you enjoy. LYRICS: When goin' the r...Все видео
While going the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
While going the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
While going the road to sweet Athy,
A stick in my hand and a drop in my eye,
A doleful damsel I heard cry: —
" Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
With drums and guns, and guns and drums.
The enemy nearly slew ye,
My darling dear, you look so queer,
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye ! "
" Where are your eyes that looked so mild ?
Hurroo ! hurroo !
Where are your eyes that looked so mild ?
Hurroo ! hurroo !
Where are your eyes that looked so mild,
When my poor heart you first beguiled ?
Why did you run from me and the child ?
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With drums, etc.
" Where are the legs with which you run ?
Hurroo ! hurroo !
Where are the legs with which you run ?
Hurroo ! hurroo !
Where are the legs with which you run,
When you went to carry a gun ? —
Indeed, your dancing days are done !
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With your drums, etc.
"It grieved my heart to see you sail,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
It grieved my heart to see you sail,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
It grieved my heart to see you sail,
Though from my heart you took leg bail, —
Like a cod you’re doubled up head and tail.
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With drums, etc.
" You haven’t an arm and you haven’t a leg,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
You haven’t an arm and you haven’t a leg,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
You haven’t an arm and you haven’t a leg,
You’re an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg ;
You’ll have to be put in a bowl to beg :
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With drums, etc.
" I’m happy for to see you home,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
I’m happy for to see you home,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
I’m happy for to see you home,
All from the island of Sulloon,
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
With drums, etc.
" But sad as it is to see you so,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
But sad as it is to see you so,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
But sad as it is to see you so,
And to think of you now as an object of woe,
Your Peggy’ll still keep ye on as her beau ;
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye !
" With drums and guns, and guns and drums,
The enemy nearly slew ye,
My darling dear, you look so queer,
Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye ! "

When goin' the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
When goin' the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
When goin' the road to sweet Athy,
A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye,
A doleful damsel I heard cry,
Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
(Chorus):
''With your guns and drums and drums and guns,
Hurroo ! hurroo !
