  1. When Johnny Comes Marching Home Disney Perkins August 30, 2011

  2. When Johnny Comes Marching home Again, Hurrah! Hurrah! We’ll give him a hearty welcome then Hurrah! Hurrah! The men will cheer and the boys will shout The ladies they will all turn out And we’ll all feel gay, When Johnny comes marching home. This shows that the speaker is a part of the community. These lines show the purpose of the song. The purpose is to show what the town will do when Johnny comes home. These two lines can be seen as negative because they could be doing this because Johnny has died.

  3. The old church bell will peel with joy Hurrah! Hurrah! To welcome home our darling boy Hurrah! Hurrah! The village lads and lassies say With roses they will straw the way, And we’ll all feel gay When Johnny comes marching home. This shows that the speaker audience is the community. The repetition of this line is to show joy. Also it is a form of propaganda. The writer of the song is trying to convey to the people that they should be happy that their sons are coming home from the supposedly “good war.”

  4. 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. This helps support the purpose of the song. Helps convey the tone of the song. The tone is exciting. The tone about the war is also an up beat and happy one These three lines can be seen as negative. They also supports the paradox of this song.

  5. Let love and friendship on that day Hurrah! Hurrah! Their choicest treasures the 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. These lines supports the paradox of the song. The songwriter, steadily repeats that they will all feel gay when Johnny comes home, but the songwriter never mentions how Johnny will feel about him being home.

  6. Breakdown This song, shows a major paradox. The songwriter is trying to present the war as something good, but in reality this song could easily be about when the soldiers come back home dead, and how the town reacts. • Additional Information: • The beat of the recorded version of the song is a very up beat. • This song was used in the Civil War as a motivation song for what will happen when a solider will come home.
