Parton, Dolly - When Johnny Comes Marching Home Lyrics






When Johnny comes marching home again, Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then, Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home
Get ready for the Jubilee, Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll celebrate the victory, Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll all join in the big parade
And let the soldier have his day
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home
America, America, when Johnny comes marching home
America, America, when Johnny comes marching home
We'll sound the horns and beat the drums
Salute them for a job well done
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home

The old church bell will ring with joy, Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our girls and boys, Hurrah! Hurrah!
'Cause Janey too has done her best
She's fought as hard as all the rest
She'll march along when Johnny comes marching home

When Johnny comes marching home again, Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then, Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer, the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home
Twill be so good to have 'em home
They've been so far and gone so long
What a joyful day when Johnny comes marching home

America, America, when Johnny comes marching home
America, America, when Janey comes marching home
We'll sound the horns and beat the drums
Salute them for a job well done
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home
That joyful day when Johnny comes marching home

Parton, Dolly When Johnny Comes Marching Home Comments
  1. B.... S....

    Lol they changed we all feel gay to joyful day

  2. a.... a....

    When people in songs say we will all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home its not like that because i had to sing in front of soldiers for Veterans day and other people are stupid and say gay in it because they don't know the song that is why they say gay in it.

  3. H.... R....

    War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery, and Ignorance Is Strength.
    What a propaganda driven perversion of a song with so much meaning.

  4. V.... ....

    When America was patriotic. Novadays people think that the best way is to hate your own country. Sad.

  5. j.... ....

    I'm the most unpatriotic person in america, but every thing about this was beautiful

    j.... ....

    Although I am a bit of an anarchist, soldiers coming back home from war is surely a beautiful thing.

  6. M.... ....

    Not when the vietnamvets came home, not a good welcome at all.

  7. M.... ....

    Are they real?

  8. C.... t....

    Johnny i hardly knew y... opps wrong song!

  9. S.... B....

    I NOW THIS SONG!

  10. G.... Z....

    Fue conejita de play boy es la mejor marcha militar usa

  11. J.... K....

    So many Johnnies never comes home, especially in my homeland after I and II WW. All the bests Dolly:*

  12. R.... T....

    So much freedom at the start.

  13. Y.... P....

    "FORT KNOX ?? HAAH... IS FOR TOURISTS !!!"

  14. �.... ....

    I am Korean, but I also admire the US and the soldiers. And I love the soldiers of my country. But I do not like the Korean perspective on the soldiers as much as the United States. I want the Korean view and treatment of Korean soldiers to be better.

    �.... ....

    I appreciate that. We don't treat it soldiers very good here though. A lot end up homeless and wait in long lines to get medical treatment. We don't do enough for our soldiers.

  15. S.... W....

    The big question




    Who's johnny?

    S.... W....

    Probably some poor conscripted peasant forced into the army to die for some military generals glory.

    S.... W....

    Stay Weird AF It means a soldier or a veteran. it’s not a specific person whatsoever

  16. D.... R....

    Our church bell will ring for those that come marching home again forever. God bless our military!!!

  17. A.... J....

    Thank you, Dolly!

  18. Q.... B....

    Funny she changed the lyrics a bit

  19. W.... A....

    If you realy love your troops so much
    How about you dont send them to die in meaningless wars

  20. I.... a....

    Not the version of the song I know but this is better

  21. B.... ....

    Nice modern version!

  22. M.... C....

    https://youtu.be/Oc44lD4wSc4

  23. C.... D....

    I wonder what country she's from?

  24. W.... ....

    American military songs are the best

  25. P.... a....

    👎🏽

  26. �.... ....

    還是比較喜歡改過的版本,原版真的太一戰了...

  27. J.... G....

    Are y'all watching in 2019

    J.... G....

    You are not even watching in 2019

  28. J.... ....

    0:07 too real

  29. x.... ....

    I love my southern belles!

    x.... ....

    why love the South they we're slavery people its wrong love the north the north was freeing the people from slavery

  30. E.... C....

    Man oh man damn near put a tear in my eye. I love my country so much. And she is correct God and country.... and in my case state also Texas....

    E.... C....

    Terrible. When did Jesus say build a big military and kill everyone? Did Jesus tell the English, french and conquistadors to take the Indians land in America?

  31. M.... M....

    Did anyone else in the comment section start crying because I sure did, it's so touching

  32. C.... G....

    R.E.D!
    If Red, White, Blue are not your favorite colors and if you've never heard of the Civil War (1861-1865), just flip off! Haters, this is not for you! If you don't like country music don't watch. We don't need your comments!
    Dolly Parton is a country music legend. She has a great voice. She's one of a kind!

    C.... G....

    Like the song, heard of the civil war but my favorit colors are Black white red. Black Red Gold looks shit

    C.... G....

    You love America so much but want to suppress my free speech and then call me a hater if red white and blue is not my favorite color? I have heard of the civil war. Red white and blue is not not favorite colors.

    C.... G....

    JesusLovesGunViolence
    You'd prefer everything black, gray and ashes, wouldn't you?
    I can't wait for the day when the collective consciences simply will not allow people to express their desires that God destroy the earth. Which will include claiming ones salvation, and/or another's condemnation.

  33. a.... r....

    Didi and friends versions better

  34. K.... C....

    If you want a proper version, watch Stalag 17.

  35. C.... o....

    I’m thought that she is a pitcher

  36. S.... A....

    Its bothers me how she says hoo rah or who rah instead of hurrah

  37. S.... A....

    Eww what an ugly grandma

  38. R.... M....

    She has big tits

  39. D.... L....

    We have a patriotic here in Australia called And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda it's worth a listen to. God bless our troops in all conflicts.

  40. L.... G....

    She sang this wrong

  41. P.... �....

    ❤️💙🇺🇸

  42. T.... I....

    She is so sexy

  43. I.... I....

    Доли, браво прекрасно изпълнение.

  44. T.... P....

    Wow, she’s beautiful.

  45. G.... B....

    Lovely patriotic Lady then & now !

  46. B.... N....

    The Hurrah part is a big turn off =.=

  47. J.... P....

    God bless America

  48. D.... D....

    The original lyrics had the word "gay" in it a few times. Figures they would remove it!!!! Totally butchered the damn song.

  49. �.... �....

    God Bless America

    �.... �....

    America!!!!!!

    �.... �....

    Before he bless america he should bless my asshole

  50. B.... ....

    Support our troops !!!!

  51. �.... �....

    Вот на лично мой взгляд-это издевательство над флагом, как минимум, за что, бля, и статья есть.

  52. �.... �....

    Вы, блядь, сами-то верите в это? Дутая старая барби поет ветеранам, которые, по ходу, сами охуевают от происходящего. Ну, т.е., сам марш-то -огонь, но бляяяяяя, престарелая порнозвезда, уколотая силиконом, куда только можно, разодетая во флаг, поет ветеранам второй мировой.

    �.... �....

    До́лли Ребе́кка Па́ртон — американская кантри-певица и киноактриса, которая написала более шестисот песен и двадцать пять раз поднималась на верхнюю позицию кантри-чартов журнала «Биллборд» Это все равно что в России назвать Пугачеву порнозвездой.

    �.... �....

    I want to join in on the conversation but I don't know the Russian language

  53. A.... ....

    What the fu** is that ugly blond thing?!

  54. H.... H....

    Dolly! Heck Yea!

  55. N.... W....

    Millennials should watch this, and feel ashamed at how selfish and ignorant they have become. Giving all-away what these people fought and died for. Idiots. We'll see how you feel about it another decade or so.

    N.... W....

    New Waver tf? How’d you draw a conclusion such as this about millennials? Sounds like another baby boomer who needs to get off their high horse.

  56. J.... G....

    My great great grandmother was a nurse during ww2,and my great grandmother was a nurse in korea and vietnam, and she always taught me to appreciate those who served,she was also very modest and insisted she didnt contribute much to the war effort. Anyways thank you vets and those serving presently

  57. M.... 2....

    I Was Waiting For The Part Where She Would Say We Would All Feel Gay But She Never Did

    M.... 2....

    Probably because the meaning of the word has a different meaning now.

  58. J.... D....

    not the original lyrics. the original was an anti war song with johnny returning with no eyes, deaf, lame and no legs. so what good is war?

    J.... D....

    Why all pacifist are so ignorant and uneducated?
    "Johnny Got His Gun" were the book and the movie with the title based on the first line of the great song "Over there". Crying snowflakes never thought that somebody could end up at this condition after road accident. Let's ban cars.

    J.... D....

    @Ольга Сословская so war is good? When? For who? Who is the "good" guys? Who's the bad? What does a car wreck have to do with war? Maybe your just trolling. I see you have a Russian username. I hope, you being a Russian (I assume) or at least understand Russian language... of all people including Americans (me)...know what the hell war has done and for what leaders.

    J.... D....

    I'm not sure if that picture you used for your profile is you but it looks like you were old enough to live in the Soviet Union.(assuming your username has something to do with nationality) Now I'm not undereducated and I'm not going to be biased in this argument and start name dropping and using western propaganda to denounce some of your leaders. American presidents have been evil as well.

  59. C.... ....

    Where in tge original lyric does it say the joyfully day instead of and we all feel gay

  60. I.... P....

    Now Johnny fights for Jews while his countrs is becoming non white.

    I.... P....

    Yea, thats the idea. Fighting so that everyone can do whatever they want, to a moderate extent. Jews, christants, atheist. And yes even races that arnt white. Crazy I know.

    I.... P....

    Jews have done MUCH more for America than America has done for Jews. Einstein. Oppenheimer. Salk, Goldwyn. Sondheim. Jolson. Plenty more.

    I.... P....

    No matter what, we are all American

    I.... P....

    Stupid fascist

  61. �.... ....

    この歌、好き!

  62. N.... Y....

    She is obviously sincere in her patriotism and desire to sheer up the troops, and I can understand the updating to include female service people, but it is interesting how she changed the chorus from "..and we'll all feel gay when..." to "...that joyful day when..."

    N.... Y....

    It's a fucking word. Get on with your life.

    N.... Y....

    Exactly. It's a fucking word...in the song... and she didn't sing it...

  63. T.... H....

    Anarchy and the NAP hurrah hurrah!
    Will guarantee my liberty hurrah hurrah!
    Mexicans I will underpay
    With roses they will strew the way
    And we’ll all feel great when money comes marching home.

  64. �.... �....

    that's right

    We all went down to New Orleans,
    For Bales, for Bales;
    We all went down to New Orleans,
    For Bales, says I;
    We all went down to New Orleans,
    To get a peep behind the scenes,
    "And we'll all drink stone blind,
    Johnny fill up the bowl".

    We thought when we got in the "Ring",
    For Bales, for Bales;
    We thought when we got in the "Ring",
    For Bales, says I;
    We thought when we got in the "Ring",
    Greenbacks would be a dead sure thing,
    "And we'll all drink stone blind,
    Johnny fill up the bowl".

    The "ring" went up, with bagging and rope,
    For Bales, for Bales;
    Upon the "Black Hawk" with bagging and rope,
    For Bales, says I;
    Went up "Red River" with bagging and rope,
    Expecting to make a pile of "soap",
    "And we'll all drink stone blind,
    Johnny fill up the bowl".

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

    Our "ring" came back 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 Grand Ecore,
    "And we'll all drink stone blind,
    Johnny fill up the bowl".

    Now let us all give praise and thanks,
    For Bales, for Bales;
    Now let us all give praise and thanks,
    For Bales, says I;
    Now let us all give praise and thanks,
    For the victory gained by General Banks,
    "And we'll all drink stone blind,
    Johnny fill up the bowl".

  71. J.... S....

    Howly mother of god. It is so good

  72. 7.... ....

    I like her interpretation of the song. It's the "joyful day" when he comes home and NOT the victory, what she emphasizes. In this interpretation this can be understand as an antiwar song.

    7.... ....

    Anti-war? Only if you are anti-american.

  73. w.... o....

    thank you to all men and women who join forces to serve our country we are all grateful for ur hardworks and to those who have died, ur sacrifices will not be in vain.

    That's not even the real song..?

  85. W.... o....

    I really like the fast pace better but "that Joyful day" when Johnny come marching home I really like how she changed the lyrics

  86. s.... ....

    Implant star of the USA.

  87. P.... M....

    simply great!

  88. A.... ....

    And people says she is only a pair of tits

  89. A.... G....

    why does she sing janie fought as hard as the rest only males fought in the worst war possible called ww1 and in ww2 just a few women fought in ww2 not from 1939 but started fighting 1943

    A.... G....

    The women sacrificed on the home front.

    A.... G....

    Arnie Gaming ur a sexist,and women contributed to the war effort

    A.... G....

    99% of US war casualties are male, and 97% since Gulf War 1. The facts speak for themselves.

    A.... G....

    @Bobario1 wooooaaahh there!! Don't come to a argument with facts!! You sexist pig! Them one percent of woman clearly sacrificed WAY more than the 99 percent of men. I'm guessing you never seen the Vietnam War Memorial Wall with all the fallen soldiers names. Try to find me 3 names of males that died in that war... It is all woman on that wall!!!

    A.... G....

    @Jackson Grainger I know! How sexist! I could Name any major army during any time that was filled mostly with woman fighting. Alexanders The Great Macedonian army, Xerxes Persian army, Julius Caesar's Roman Legions, Genghis Khan Mongolians, the Spanish and Portugal Conquistadors, Napoleon's Grand Armee, America's revolutionary War and civil War. World war 1 and 2. Vietnam Korean gulf War. Wait... These were almost nearly all men that fought and died in each of these wars. No one said woman didn't contribute but to act like women sacrificed as much as men in war (that was the original statement) is complete bullshit.
