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

Origins [edit]

The lyrics to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" were written by the Irish gaelic-American bandleader Patrick Gilmore during the American Civil War. Its first sheet music publication was deposited in the Library of Congress on September 26, 1863, with words and music credited to "Louis Lambert"; copyright was retained past the publisher, Henry Tolman & Co., of Boston.^[one] Why Gilmore chose to publish nether a pseudonym is non articulate, just pop composers of the menstruation often employed pseudonyms to add together a touch on of romantic mystery to their compositions.^[2] Gilmore is said to have written the song for his sister Annie every chip she prayed for the safe return of her fiancé, Union Lite Artillery Captain John O'Rourke, from the Civil War,^{[three] [iv] [five]} although information technology is non clear if they were already engaged in 1863; the ii were non married until 1875.^[six]

Gilmore afterward acknowledged that the music was not original merely was, equally he put it in an 1883 commodity 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 downward, dressed it up, gave it a proper substantive, and rhymed it into usefulness for a special purpose suited to the times."^[7]

The melody was previously published around July ane, 1863, as the music to the Civil War drinking song "Johnny Fill up the Bowl".^[viii] A color-illustrated, undated sideslip of Gilmore's lyrics, printed by his own Boston publisher, actually states that "When Johnny Comes Marching Dwelling" should be sung to the tune of "Johnny Make full Upward the Bowl".^[nine] The original sail music for "Johnny Fill up upwardly Upwards the Basin" states that the music was bundled (not composed) by 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 tune dating from about 1630 or earlier), and Jonathan Lighter has suggested a connectedness to the seventeenth-century carol "The Iii Ravens".^[xi]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is also sung to the aforementioned melody equally "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" and is ofttimes thought to have been a rewriting of that vocal. However, "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" was not published until 1867, and it originally had a different tune.^[12]

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

Alternative versions [edit]

Quite a few variations on the song, as well as songs ready to the same melody but with different lyrics, have appeared since "When Johnny Comes Marching Domicile" was popularized. The alleged 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 similar championship, "When Tommy Comes Marching Home". The 1880 U.S. presidential election entrada featured a entrada song called "If the Johnnies Get into Power,"^[15] which supported the Republicans James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur against the "Johnnies" (Democrats Winfield S. Hancock and William H. English).^[16]

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

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

The erstwhile church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome dwelling our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the mode,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching domicile.

Get fix for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero 3 times iii,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is set now
To identify upon his loyal brow
And we'll all experience gay
When Johnny comes marching habitation.

Allow love and friendship on that mean solar day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then brandish,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And permit each one perform some role,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And nosotros'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Some later on recordings terminate each poetry with "And nosotros'll all feel glad when Johnny comes marching abode."

"And we'll all drink rock blind,
Johnny fill up upwards the basin".

For Bales, for Bales;
We thought when we got in the "Band",
For Bales, says I;

"And we'll all drink stone bullheaded,
Johnny fill upwards the basin".

[3]
The "band" went upwardly, with bagging and rope,
For Bales, for Bales;
Upon the "Black Hawk" with bagging and rope,
For Bales, says I;
Went upwards "Red River" with bagging and rope,
Expecting to brand a pile of "soap",
"And we'll all drink stone bullheaded,
Johnny make full the bowl".

[4]
But Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
For Bales, for Bales;
But Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
For Bales, says I;
Just Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
Burned upwards the cotton and whipped old Banks,
"And we'll all drink rock bullheaded,
Johnny fill upward the bowl".

[v]
Our "band" came back and cursed and swore,
For Bales, for Bales;
Our "ring" came dorsum and cursed and swore,
For Bales, says I;
Our "ring" came dorsum and cursed and swore,
For we got no cotton fiber wool at Yard Ecore,
"And we'll all drinkable rock blind,
Johnny fill the basin".

Johnny fill up the basin".^[18]
