While going the road to sweet Athy Hurroo! Hurroo!
While going the road to sweet Athy Hurroo!
While going the road to weei Athy with a stick in my
hand and a drop in my eye,
A doteful damsel I heard cry Jonney I hardly knew ye

With your drums and guns and guns and drums the
enemy nearly slew ye;
Oh darling dear you look so queer faith Jonny I hard
ly knew ye

Where are your eyes that looked so mild hurroo!

heart you did begile,

Where are the legs with which you run hurroo!
Where are the legs with which you run hurroo!
Wheere are the legs with which you run when you
went to carry a gun,
Indeed your dancing days are done faith Johney I
hardly knew ye,

It grieved my heart to see you sail hurroo!
It grieved my heart to see ynu sail hurroo!
It grieved my heart to see you sail If my heart you
felt you would bewail,
