"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" (Roud 6637), sometimes "When Johnny Comes Marching Dwelling house Once more", 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 war.
Origins [edit]
The lyrics to "When Johnny Comes Marching Habitation" were written past the Irish-American bandleader Patrick Gilmore during the American Civil 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 past the publisher, Henry Tolman & Co., of Boston.[1] Why Gilmore chose to publish under a pseudonym is not articulate, but popular composers of the period often employed pseudonyms to add together a touch of romantic mystery to their compositions.[2] Gilmore is said to accept written the song for his sister Annie every bit she prayed for the safe render of her fiancé, Union Light Arms Captain John O'Rourke, from the Civil War,[iii] [iv] [five] although it is non clear if they were already engaged in 1863; the two were not married until 1875.[6]
Gilmore after best-selling that the music was non original merely was, as he put it 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 it, wrote it down, dressed it up, gave it a name, and rhymed it into usefulness for a special purpose suited to the times."[7]
The tune was previously published around July i, 1863, as the music to the Civil War drinking vocal "Johnny Fill up the Basin".[8] A colour-illustrated, undated slip of Gilmore's lyrics, printed by his own Boston publisher, actually states that "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" should be sung to the tune of "Johnny Fill up the Bowl".[nine] The original canvas music for "Johnny Fill Up the Bowl" states that the music was arranged (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 connection to the seventeenth-century ballad "The 3 Ravens".[xi]
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is besides sung to the same tune as "Johnny I Inappreciably Knew Ye" and is frequently thought to take been a rewriting of that song. However, "Johnny I Inappreciably Knew Ye" was not published until 1867, and it originally had a different melody.[12]
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was immensely popular and was sung by both sides of the American Civil War.[13] Information technology became a hitting in England besides.[14]
Alternative versions [edit]
Quite a few variations on the song, as well equally songs set to the same tune but with different lyrics, have appeared since "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was popularized. The alleged larcenous tendencies of some Wedlock soldiers in New Orleans were parodied in the lyrics "For Bales", to the same tune. A British version appeared in 1914, with the similar title, "When Tommy Comes Marching Habitation". The 1880 U.Due south. presidential election campaign featured a campaign vocal 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).[xvi]
Lyrics [edit]

The original lyrics every bit written by Gilmore, are:[17]
When Johnny comes marching home over again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome so
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men volition cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all plow out
And we'll all experience gay
When Johnny comes marching dwelling house.The former church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome domicile our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The hamlet lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And nosotros'll all experience gay
When Johnny comes marching dwelling house.Go ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Nosotros'll requite the hero iii times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is gear up now
To place upon his loyal brow
And nosotros'll all experience gay
When Johnny comes marching home.Let love and friendship on that solar day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And allow each one perform some function,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
Some afterward recordings end each verse with "And we'll all feel glad when Johnny comes marching home."
"Johnny Make full Up the Bowl" [edit]
"Johnny Make full Up the Bowl", which provided the tune for "When Johnny Comes Marching Habitation", was a topical drinking song that commented on events in the American Civil War. It was oft refitted with new words by soldiers and other publishers.[10]
A satirical variant of "Johnny Fill up the Bowl", entitled "For Bales" or, more fully, "For Bales! An O'er Truthful Tale. Defended to Those Pure Patriots Who Were Afflicted with 'Cotton wool on the Encephalon' and Who Saw The Elephant", was published in New Orleans in 1864, by A. E. Blackmar.
Lyrics [edit]
[1]
We all went downwards to New Orleans,
For Bales, for Bales;
Nosotros all went down to New Orleans,
For Bales, says I;
Nosotros all went down to New Orleans,
To get a peep backside the scenes,
"And we'll all potable stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl".[2]
We idea 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 certain affair,
"And nosotros'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl".[3]
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 "Red River" with bagging and rope,
Expecting to make a pile of "soap",
"And we'll all potable stone blind,
Johnny fill up up the bowl".[iv]
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 up the cotton and whipped old Banks,
"And nosotros'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up upwards the basin".[v]
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 nosotros got no cotton wool at Grand Ecore,
"And we'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up up the bowl".[6]
At present permit us all give praise and thank you,
For Bales, for Bales;
Now let united states of america all requite praise and cheers,
For Bales, says I;
At present let us all give praise and cheers,
For the victory gained past Full general Banks,
"And we'll all potable stone bullheaded,
Johnny fill upwards the basin".[eighteen]
