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

Origins [edit]

The lyrics to "When Johnny Comes Marching Domicile" were written by the Irish-American bandleader Patrick Gilmore during the American Ceremonious State of war. Its outset 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.^[1] Why Gilmore chose to publish under a pseudonym is not articulate, merely pop composers of the period oftentimes employed pseudonyms to add a touch 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, Spousal relationship Low-cal Artillery Captain John O'Rourke, from the Civil State of war,^{[3] [4] [5]} although it is not clear if they were already engaged in 1863; the two were not married until 1875.^[vi]

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

The melody was previously published around July 1, 1863, as the music to the Civil War drinking song "Johnny Fill Up the Bowl".^[8] A color-illustrated, undated slip of Gilmore'southward lyrics, printed by his own Boston publisher, actually states that "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" should exist sung to the tune of "Johnny Fill Up the Bowl".^[9] The original canvas music for "Johnny Fill up Up the Bowl" states that the music was bundled (not composed) by J. Durnal.^[ten] 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 before), and Jonathan Lighter has suggested a connection to the seventeenth-century carol "The Three Ravens".^[11]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Abode" is as well sung to the aforementioned melody as "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" and is frequently thought to have been a rewriting of that song. However, "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" was not published until 1867, and it originally had a unlike melody.^[12]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was immensely popular and was sung by both sides of the American Civil State of war.^[13] It became a hit in England every bit well.^[14]

Alternative versions [edit]

Quite a few variations on the song, likewise every bit songs set to the aforementioned tune but with different lyrics, have appeared since "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was popularized. The alleged larcenous tendencies of some Spousal relationship soldiers in New Orleans were parodied in the lyrics "For Bales", to the aforementioned tune. A British version appeared in 1914, with the similar title, "When Tommy Comes Marching Domicile". The 1880 U.S. presidential election campaign featured a campaign vocal called "If the Johnnies Get into Power,"^[fifteen] which supported the Republicans James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur against the "Johnnies" (Democrats Winfield Southward. Hancock and William H. English).^[16]

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

When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome so
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 home.

The old church bong volition peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they volition strew the style,
And nosotros'll all experience gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

Become fix for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Nosotros'll requite the hero iii times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is gear up at present
To identify upon his loyal brow
And nosotros'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching abode.

Allow love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each 1 perform some function,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And nosotros'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching habitation.

Some afterwards recordings end each verse with "And we'll all feel glad when Johnny comes marching home."

"Johnny Fill Upwardly the Basin" [edit]

"Johnny Fill Up the Bowl", which provided the tune for "When Johnny Comes Marching Dwelling house", was a topical drinking song that commented on events in the American Civil State of war. It was frequently refitted with new words by soldiers and other publishers.^[10]

A satirical variant of "Johnny Make full the Basin", entitled "For Bales" or, more than fully, "For Bales! An O'er True Tale. Dedicated to Those Pure Patriots Who Were Affected with 'Cotton wool on the Brain' and Who Saw The Elephant", was published in New Orleans in 1864, by A. East. Blackmar.
