"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" (Roud 6637), sometimes "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again", is a popular vocal from the American Civil War that expressed people's longing for the render of their friends and relatives who were fighting in the state of war.

Origins [edit]

The lyrics to "When Johnny Comes Marching Domicile" were written by the Irish-American bandleader Patrick Gilmore during the American Civil State of war. Its beginning 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 by the publisher, Henry Tolman & Co., of Boston.^[i] Why Gilmore chose to publish under a pseudonym is not clear, but pop composers of the period oft employed pseudonyms to add a touch on of romantic mystery to their compositions.^[two] Gilmore is said to have written the song for his sis Annie as she prayed for the safe return of her fiancé, Union Low-cal Artillery Captain John O'Rourke, from the Civil War,^{[3] [4] [v]} although it is not clear if they were already engaged in 1863; the two were not married until 1875.^[6]

Gilmore later acknowledged that the music was not original but was, as he put information technology in an 1883 article in the Musical Herald, "a musical waif which I happened to hear somebody bustling in the early days of the rebellion, and taking a fancy to information technology, wrote it downwards, dressed it up, gave it a proper name, and rhymed it into usefulness for a special purpose suited to the times."^[7]

The melody was previously published around July 1, 1863, equally the music to the Ceremonious War drinking vocal "Johnny Make full the Basin".^[eight] A color-illustrated, undated sideslip of Gilmore's lyrics, printed by his own Boston publisher, actually states that "When Johnny Comes Marching Domicile" should exist sung to the tune of "Johnny Make full Up the Basin".^[9] The original canvass music for "Johnny Make full Upwards the Basin" states that the music was arranged (not equanimous) 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 melody dating from about 1630 or earlier), and Jonathan Lighter has suggested a connection to the seventeenth-century ballad "The Three Ravens".^[11]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Dwelling house" is also sung to the aforementioned tune as "Johnny I Inappreciably Knew Ye" and is frequently thought to have been a rewriting of that vocal. All the same, "Johnny I Hardly 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.^[xiii] Information technology became a hit in England equally well.^[xiv]

Alternative versions [edit]

Quite a few variations on the song, too as songs set up to the aforementioned tune merely with different lyrics, have appeared since "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was popularized. The alleged larcenous tendencies of some Matrimony soldiers in New Orleans were parodied in the lyrics "For Bales", to the aforementioned melody. 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 Become into Ability,"^[15] which supported the Republicans James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur confronting the "Johnnies" (Democrats Winfield S. Hancock and William H. English language).^[16]

Lyrics [edit]

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

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 gay
When Johnny comes marching habitation.

The old church building bell volition 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 gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Become ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll requite the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready at present
To place upon his loyal brow
And nosotros'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching abode.

Let love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures and then brandish,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some role,
To fill up with joy the warrior's center,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching abode.

Some later recordings end each poesy with "And we'll all feel glad when Johnny comes marching abode."

"Johnny Make full the Basin" [edit]

"Johnny Fill Upwardly the Bowl", which provided the melody for "When Johnny Comes Marching Domicile", was a topical drinking song that commented on events in the American Civil War. Information technology was frequently refitted with new words by soldiers and other publishers.^[10]

A satirical variant of "Johnny Fill Upwardly the Bowl", entitled "For Bales" or, more fully, "For Bales! An O'er Truthful Tale. Dedicated to Those Pure Patriots Who Were Afflicted with 'Cotton on the Brain' and Who Saw The Elephant", was published in New Orleans in 1864, by A. Due east. Blackmar.

Lyrics [edit]

[1]
We all went down to New Orleans,
For Bales, for Bales;
We all went downward to New Orleans,
For Bales, says I;
We all went downward to New Orleans,
To get a peep behind the scenes,
"And we'll all drinkable stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl".

[2]
We idea when we got in the "Ring",
For Bales, for Bales;
We idea 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 nosotros'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up upwardly the bowl".

[3]
The "band" went up, with bagging and rope,
For Bales, for Bales;
Upon the "Black Militarist" 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 rock blind,
Johnny make full up 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;
But Taylor and Smith, with ragged ranks,
Burned up the cotton and whipped quondam Banks,
"And nosotros'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny make full the bowl".

[5]
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 G Ecore,
"And we'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl".

[vi]
Now allow 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 cheers,
For the victory gained by General Banks,
"And we'll all drinkable stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl".^[18]
