UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY BAND - When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Video: scenes from the movie "Glory" (1989)
Music and lyrics: Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore was a famous bandleader before the war. He served during wartime as a bandmaster for the 22nd New York Regiment. Gilmore wrote this song (1863) under the name Louis Lambert. The melody was similar to several well known Irish folksongs. The song appealed to families on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line by offering hope that their sons and brothers and fathers would return safely from the combat.

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.

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 pleasures 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.

As a Black US Army Veteran
When I saw this and heard
the theme, tears swelled
upon my eyes, and I thought
of one word: "Pride."

This is a very beautiful thing to see, when an entire nation join forces to fight for freedom, regardless skin color of religious belief.

Давай, вперёд 54 Массачусетский! Вреж этим мятежникам! Чёрные солдаты погибли все вместе со своим командиром. И для белого полковника того что на коне с саблей, не было высшего счастья как быть зарытым в одном рве в месте со своими чёрными солдатами...

They buried Colonel Shaw with his colored men in a mass grave intending to be an insult. After hearing this his Father reportedly wrote -" I can't think of any holier place". If you haven’t seen this movie you really should.
