Oh, Johnny is gone for a soldier.

CHORUS.

Shool, Shool, Shool, agrah!

Time can only ease my woe,

Since the lad of my heart from me did go

Oh, Johnny is gone for a soldier.

Some say my love is gone to France,

There his fortune to advance,

And if I find him it’s but a chance,—

Oh, Johnny is gone for a soldier,
