I have an earworm with "when johnny comes marching home" now

Are you sure it's not Johnny I hardly knew ye?

Johnny I hardly knew ye is the Irish anti-war folk song original

When Johnny comes marching home is the American pro-war song plan copied off the original

Ye armless boneless chickenless egg

[Lord Shonus]

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was written in 1863, and set to the tune of the popular drinking song "Johnny fill up the bowl". "Johnny I hardly Knew Ye" was written in 1867, and wasn't set to the tune of "Johnny Fill Up The Bowl" for a few decades.

I had the specific american song rather than the Irish one in mind so 🤷‍♂️

"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was written in 1863, and set to the tune of the popular drinking song "Johnny fill up the bowl". "Johnny I hardly Knew Ye" was written in 1867, and wasn't set to the tune of "Johnny Fill Up The Bowl" for a few decades.

Nay the the years, you're confusing the date by which it was first published with the year of its creation, it's from the late 18th or early 19th century.

The part about Johnny Fill Up the Bowl I don't know about.

[Lord Shonus]

There's no evidence the song dates back to the 18th century. The earliest confirmed date is the publication one, and there's no unambiguous (or, for that matter, ambiguous) references to it in earlier works.

[Egan_BW]

It is terrifying

[Loud Whispers]

It is for the best

[Egan_BW]

It is for the best

It must be stopped with violent force.

[Loud Whispers]

You sound like a troublemaker.

[Maximum Spin]

You look like a mighty warrior indeed.
