Самая популярная песня Гражданской войны в США 1861-65. Написана на мотив старой ирландской песни "Johnny I hardly knew ye", время написание варьируется от 1820 до 1860-х годов, впервые же опубликована в 1863. Автором текста считается Патрик Гилмор выступивший под псевдонимом Луи Ламберт. Первым ее запел 24-ый полк Волонтёров Массачусеттса армии северян. Как и в нашей Гражданской войне песня была любима обеими сторонами и распевалась на сотни разных куплетов.
В Европе стала известна в 1917 году с прибытием американских войск. Стала также популярна среди союзников под названием "When Tommy comes marching".
Классический текст:
When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and 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 bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
Let love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
