And this verse, purpose written although by who, to "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye": They're rolling out the guns again; Huroo, huroo. They're rolling out the guns again; Huroo, huroo. They're rolling out the guns again, But they'll never take our sons again: Johnny, I swear it to ye!" How often we've been forsworn. How many sons, and daughters, too, these days, Hapless draftees or ambitious volunteers, have been taken since then. I am adamently against war, but I have lost the arrogance that let me feel I could condemn the warriors.
