English Civil War lyrics

When Johnny comes marchin' home again, hurrah, tala

He's comin' by bus or underground, hurrah, tala

A woman's eye will shed a tear

To see his face so beaten in fear

And it was just around the corner in the English Civil War

It was still at the stage of clubs and fists, hurrah, tala

When that well known face got beaten to bits, hurrah, tala

Your face was blue in the light of the screen

As watched the speech of an animal scream

New Party army was marchin' right over our heads

All right!

Ha, ha, I told you so, hurrah, tala

Says everybody that we know, hurrah, tala

But who hid a radio under the stairs?

Who got caught out unawares?

New Party army came marchin' right up the stairs

When Johnny comes marchin' home again, hurrah, tala

Nobody understands it can happen again, hurrah, tala

The sun is shinin' and the kids are shoutin' loud

Ya' got to know it's shinin' through a crack in the cloud

And the shadows keep on fallin', when Johnny comes marchin' home

Hurrah, Johnny

Oh yeah, Johnny

All the girls go oh

Get his coffin ready

Cause Johnny is comin' home
