When Johnny Comes Marching Home?

Me thinks thou doth protest too much!.... I'll bet you're only 3 or 4 beers from taking what Johnny has to give!

“Johnny” why “Johnny”? There is a reason that the Irish and others picked that common name, often “Johnny” as it ensured better “sales” of the music sheets. Folks could identify with the name. That simple besides there was a tradition of Johnny in war songs as we see. Johnny, I hardly knew you. With drums and guns arid guns and drums, The enemy nearly slew ye, bears a strong resemblance to “When Johnny Comes Marching Home This song was not as popular; it is Irish and dates to say 1790’s. But it can be taken a source. JOHNNY HAS GONE FOR A SOLDIER 1776: A Revolutionary War Song O Johnny dear ... O my heart is sad and weary today, I'll sell my clock, I'll sell my reel, I'll sell my flax and spinning wheel, To buy my true love a sword of steel, Johnny has gone for a soldier. Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier,” for example, was based on an old Irish folk song, the doleful “Shule Aroon” But “Planxty Creagh” an Irish Air is a closer match, to “When Johnny comes marching home” and probably the “root” of “I hardly knew you”, that is just trivia. “Tonalic” is correct. -

Chapter 4 of Babe Ruth's autobiography is "The Gay Life". Gay means happy. Men who prefer to have sex with other men rather than with women decided to have themselves called "gay". They usurped the word. In commercials featuring gay men who are dying of aids, they don't look too "gay". Anyway, we should all be happy. Until some group demands to be called "happy", in which case we'll have to look for a new word.

Why don't you wish to be gay? I think that indicates a sign of depression, because surely feeling gay is what everyone strives for in one way or another?

When Adam Faith recorded this American Civil War song, the lyric was changed to 'We'll all go mad when...'

In 1865 you could feel merry and gay.

i will, i will defiantly feel that way
