{{poemquote|
When Johnny comes marching home again,
    Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then,
    Hurrah, hurrah!
The men will cheer, 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 bell will peal with joy,
    Hurrah, hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
    Hurrah, hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say,
With roses, they will strew the way,
    And we'll all feel gay,
When Johnny comes marching home.

Get ready for the jubilee,
    Hurrah, hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
    Hurrah, hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now,
To place upon his loyal brow,
    And we'll all feel gay,
When Johnny comes marching home.

Let love and friendship on that day,
    Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest treasures then display,
    Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
    And we'll all feel gay,
When Johnny comes marching home.}}

Some later recordings substitute ''glad'' for ''gay''. {{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In the [[John Ford]] western ''[[The Horse Soldiers]]'', the last line was changed to "And we'll all ''raise hell'' when Johnny comes marching home".
