Levellers English Civil War Lyrics

When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah tallah
He's coming by bus or underground, hurrah tallah
The world no doubt will shed a tear
To see his face so beaten in fear
And it's just around the corner in the English civil war

Still at the stage of clubs and fists, hurrah tallah
When that well known face got beaten to bits, hurrah tallah
Your face was blue in the light of the screen
As we watched the speech of an animal scream
The new party army was marching over our heads

There you are, ha ha, I told you so, hurrah tallah
Says everybody that we know, hurrah tallah
But who hid the radio under the stairs
And who got caught when it's unaware
When that new party army came marching out the stairs

When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah tallah
Nobody understands this can happen again, hurrah tallah
The sun is shining and the kids shouting loud
But you've got to know it's shining through a crack in the cloud
And the shadows keep on falling when Johnny comes marching home

All the girls go oh
Just get his coffin ready
'Cause Johnny's coming home
