Origins [edit]

The lyrics to "When Johnny Comes Marching Dwelling" were written by the Irish-American bandleader Patrick Gilmore during the American Civil War. Its first canvas 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.^[ane] Why Gilmore chose to publish under a pseudonym is not clear, merely pop composers of the period oftentimes employed pseudonyms to add a touch of romantic mystery to their compositions.^[ii] Gilmore is said to accept written the song for his sister Annie as she prayed for the safe return of her fiancé, Marriage Lite Artillery Helm John O'Rourke, from the Civil War,^{[three] [4] [5]} although it is not articulate 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 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 downwardly, dressed it upward, gave it a name, and rhymed information technology into usefulness for a special purpose suited to the times."^[7]

The tune was previously published around July ane, 1863, equally the music to the Civil War drinking song "Johnny Fill the Bowl".^[8] A colour-illustrated, undated slip of Gilmore'due south lyrics, printed by his ain Boston publisher, actually states that "When Johnny Comes Marching Habitation" should be sung to the melody of "Johnny Fill up Up the Bowl".^[9] The original canvass music for "Johnny Fill up the Bowl" states that the music was bundled (not composed) by J. Durnal.^[10] At that place 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 Iii Ravens".^[11]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is likewise sung to the same melody every bit "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 different melody.^[12]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Dwelling house" was immensely popular and was sung by both sides of the American Civil War.^[13] It became a hitting in England likewise.^[14]

Culling versions [edit]

Quite a few variations on the song, as well equally songs set up to the aforementioned melody but with dissimilar lyrics, accept appeared since "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was popularized. The declared larcenous tendencies of some Union 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 ballot campaign featured a campaign song chosen "If the Johnnies Get into Ability,"^[15] which supported the Republicans James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur against the "Johnnies" (Democrats Winfield Due south. Hancock and William H. English).^[16]

When Johnny comes marching habitation again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Nosotros'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!

And nosotros'll all feel gay

With roses they will strew the way,
And we'll all experience gay

We'll give the hero 3 times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is gear up at present
To place upon his loyal brow
And nosotros'll all experience gay

Permit love and friendship on that mean solar day,

And let each ane perform some role,
To fill with joy the warrior'southward eye,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching domicile.

"And we'll all drink stone bullheaded,

[3]
The "ring" went up, with bagging and rope,
For Bales, for Bales;
Upon the "Black Militarist" with bagging and rope,

Went upwards "Cherry River" with bagging and rope,
Expecting to make a pile of "soap",
"And nosotros'll all potable stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl".

[4]

Burned up the cotton and whipped old Banks,
"And nosotros'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up upward the bowl".

Our "band" came back and cursed and swore,
For Bales, for Bales;

For we got no cotton at Thousand Ecore,
"And we'll all potable stone blind,
Johnny fill up upwardly the basin".
