American Patriotic Song - "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" (sometimes "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again") was a popular song from the American Civil War that expressed the people's desire to bring back their friends and relatives who had fought in the war.
The lyrics to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" were written by Irish-American bandleader Patrick Gilmore during the American Civil War. Its first publication of music was deposited in the Library of Congress on September 26, 1863, with the words and music attributed to "Louis Lambert"; copyright remained with the publisher Henry Tolman and Company of Boston. Why Gilmour chose to publish under a pseudonym is unclear, but popular composers of the period often used pseudonyms to add a touch of romantic mystery to their compositions. Gilmore is said to have written this song for his sister Annie as she prayed for the safe return of her fiancé, Union light artillery captain John O'Rourke, from the Civil War, although it is unclear whether they were already engaged in 1863; they were not married until 1875.
▬▬▬▬▬▬ WORDS ▬▬▬▬▬▬
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 glad
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 glad
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 glad
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 glad
When Johnny comes marching home.
