Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya
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!
Johnny, que eu mal conhecia Ya
Enquanto eu estiver na estrada para Athenry
Haroo, Haroo
Enquanto eu estiver na estrada para Athenry
Haroo, Haroo
Quando estou na estrada para Athenry
Uma vara em mim mão e uma lágrima em mim olho
Eu não posso ver porque é um crime
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, o Diabo quase matou ya
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
Com fome, fome e quase morto
Haroo, Haroo
Um pouco de milho que ele roubou para encher suas entranhas
Uma família para cuidar, um amor de ousar
como um ladrão, ele é olhou, que é realmente justo?
Retirado e enviado para a prisão
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, o Diabo quase matou ya
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
Evitar a prisão e pagar a fiança
Em seguida, entrar para a marinha e fora de você navegar
Deixe Rosie e roam, o seu filho é o lar
nenhuma vergonha em deixá-los sozinhos
Eles dizem que é melhor do que uma parede de prisão
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, o Diabo quase matou ya
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, o Diabo quase matou ya
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
Não muito longe, a bandeira espanhola
Eles sobem em frente com as armas na mão
O navio foi afundado, o won Espanhol
Agora nada pode ser realmente feito
Ele está na salmoura com uma espinha quebrada
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, o Diabo quase matou ya
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, Haroo, Haroo
Com suas armas e tambores, e os tambores e armas, o Diabo quase matou ya
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
Johnny, eu mal sabia ya!
