When Johnny Comes Marching Home
Illustration of a Zouave company on Civil War era broadside of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”.
The original lyrics as written by Gilmore, are:
- 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.
America the Beautiful
‘America the Beautiful’ U.S Marine Band, ca. 1953 |
- O beautiful, for spacious skies,
- For amber waves of grain,
- For purple mountain majesties
- Above the fruited plain!
- America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
- And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.
- O beautiful, for pilgrim feet
- Whose stern, impassioned stress
- A thoroughfare for freedom beat
- Across the wilderness!
- America! America! God mend thine ev’ry flaw;
- Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!
- O beautiful, for heroes proved
- In liberating strife,
- Who more than self their country loved
- And mercy more than life!
- America! America! May God thy gold refine,
- ‘Til all success be nobleness, and ev’ry gain divine!
- O beautiful, for patriot dream
- That sees beyond the years,
- Thine alabaster cities gleam
- Undimmed by human tears!
- America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
- And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!
