We're on the road to sweet attire,
aroo,
aroo
We're on the road to sweet attire, aroo,
aroo
We're on the road to sweet attire,
stick in the air and cheer me on
I've had awful lumps of blood,
I've cried,
Johnny,
I hardly knew ya
Where are the eyes that look so mild, aroo,
aroo
Where are the eyes that look so mild, aroo,
aroo
Where are the eyes that look so mild when I pull on ya
When I pull on ya first we got,
why did you run from me if it's sharp,
Johnny,
I hardly knew ya
We're strong,
son,
guns,
and drums,
and guns,
aroo,
aroo We're strong,
son,
guns,
and drums,
and guns,
aroo,
aroo
We're strong,
son,
guns,
and drums,
and guns,
the enemy never slow ya
Johnny,
I hardly knew ya Where are the legs with which you run,
aroo,
aroo
Where are the legs with which you run, aroo,
aroo Where are the legs with which you run when
first you went to carry a gun,
it'd be the dancing days I thought,
Johnny,
I hardly knew
you
Aroo was drums and guns and drums and guns
Aroo,
Aroo was drums and guns and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ya
Johnny, I haven't even knew ya
I'm happy for the seer, oh Aroo, Aroo
I'm happy for the seer, oh Aroo,
Aroo
I'm reaching home from the Isle of Salem
