"When Johnny Comes Marching Abode" (Roud 6637), sometimes "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Once again", is a popular song from the American Ceremonious War that expressed people'southward longing for the return of their friends and relatives who were fighting in the war.

Origins [edit]

The lyrics to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" were written by the Irish-American bandleader Patrick Gilmore during the American Civil War. Its offset canvas music publication was deposited in the Library of Congress on September 26, 1863, with words and music credited to "Louis Lambert"; copyright was retained by the publisher, Henry Tolman & Co., of Boston.^[1] Why Gilmore chose to publish under a pseudonym is not clear, merely pop composers of the catamenia often employed pseudonyms to add together a bear on of romantic mystery to their compositions.^[2] Gilmore is said to have written the song for his sister Annie as she prayed for the safe return of her fiancé, Spousal relationship Lite Artillery Helm John O'Rourke, from the Civil War,^{[3] [4] [5]} although it is not clear if they were already engaged in 1863; the two were not married until 1875.^[half-dozen]

Gilmore later acknowledged that the music was not original but was, every bit he put it in an 1883 article in the Musical Herald, "a musical waif which I happened to hear somebody humming in the early on days of the rebellion, and taking a fancy to it, wrote it down, dressed it upwardly, gave it a name, and rhymed it into usefulness for a special purpose suited to the times."^[seven]

The melody was previously published effectually July 1, 1863, as the music to the Civil War drinking song "Johnny Fill up Up the Bowl".^[eight] A color-illustrated, undated skid of Gilmore's lyrics, printed by his own Boston publisher, actually states that "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" should be sung to the melody of "Johnny Fill up Up the Bowl".^[9] The original canvas music for "Johnny Fill Upwards the Bowl" states that the music was arranged (not composed) past J. Durnal.^[10] There is a melodic resemblance of the tune to that of "John Anderson, My Jo" (to which Robert Burns wrote lyrics to fit a pre-existing melody dating from well-nigh 1630 or before), and Jonathan Lighter has suggested a connection to the seventeenth-century carol "The Three Ravens".^[11]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is too sung to the same tune as "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" and is frequently thought to accept been a rewriting of that song. Yet, "Johnny I Inappreciably Knew Ye" was not published until 1867, and it originally had a different melody.^[12]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Domicile" was immensely popular and was sung by both sides of the American Civil State of war.^[thirteen] It became a hit in England as well.^[14]

Culling versions [edit]

Quite a few variations on the song, also every bit songs set to the same tune but with different lyrics, have appeared since "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was popularized. The declared larcenous tendencies of some Matrimony soldiers in New Orleans were parodied in the lyrics "For Bales", to the same tune. A British version appeared in 1914, with the like championship, "When Tommy Comes Marching Home". The 1880 U.S. presidential election campaign featured a campaign song called "If the Johnnies Get into Power,"^[xv] which supported the Republicans James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur against the "Johnnies" (Democrats Winfield Southward. Hancock and William H. English).^[16]

The original lyrics as written past Gilmore, are:^[17]

When Johnny comes marching dwelling again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome so
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys volition shout
The ladies they volition all turn out
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching dwelling.

The old church bong will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they volition strew the fashion,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching abode.

Go set up for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To identify upon his loyal forehead
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Let love and friendship on that mean solar day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each ane perform some part,
To fill up with joy the warrior's middle,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Some later recordings finish each verse with "And we'll all feel glad when Johnny comes marching dwelling house."

"Johnny Make full the Bowl" [edit]

"Johnny Fill up Up the Bowl", which provided the tune for "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", was a topical drinking song that commented on events in the American Civil War. It was often refitted with new words by soldiers and other publishers.^[10]

Lyrics [edit]

[i]
Nosotros all went down to New Orleans,
For Bales, for Bales;
We all went down to New Orleans,
For Bales, says I;
We all went downwardly to New Orleans,
To get a peep behind the scenes,
"And we'll all beverage stone bullheaded,
Johnny make full the basin".

[2]
Nosotros thought when we got in the "Band",
For Bales, for Bales;
Nosotros thought when we got in the "Ring",
For Bales, says I;
Nosotros thought when we got in the "Ring",
Greenbacks would exist a expressionless certain thing,
"And nosotros'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill upwardly the bowl".

[three]
The "band" went upwards, with bagging and rope,
For Bales, for Bales;
Upon the "Black Hawk" with bagging and rope,
For Bales, says I;
Went up "Ruby-red River" with bagging and rope,
Expecting to brand a pile of "lather",
"And we'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up up the bowl".

[4]
But Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
For Bales, for Bales;
Merely Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
For Bales, says I;
But Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
Burned upwardly the cotton wool and whipped old Banks,
"And we'll all drinkable stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl".

[5]
Our "band" came dorsum and cursed and swore,
For Bales, for Bales;
Our "ring" came back and cursed and swore,
For Bales, says I;
Our "ring" came back and cursed and swore,
For we got no cotton at Yard Ecore,
"And nosotros'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up up the bowl".

[6]
Now permit us all give praise and thanks,
For Bales, for Bales;
Now let u.s.a. all give praise and thanks,
For Bales, says I;
Now let usa all give praise and thanks,
For the victory gained by General Banks,
"And we'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl".^[18]
