The Golden Gate Quartet Sings 004

I hear those echoes calling on again, skip to my loom, gone again, skip to my loom, gone again, skip to my loom, skip to my darling. Howdy neighbors, this is a program of your songs. The songs your forefathers and the folks who came before them sang.

These are the Songs of America. And this is Tom Scott speaking for the Golden Gate Quartet and inviting you to hear America sing. Sing as it fought wars, sail the seas, heard it the cattle, fell the forests and developed our great pioneering tradition.

These are your songs, the folk Songs of America. Again, skip to my loom, skip to my darling. Out of the pages of the history of America has come its folk songs, like the songs that were sung when America was at war.

Parting for the front in wartime is indeed a sad occasion, but that only makes the joy all the greater when Johnny comes marching home. Here now is a song based on an old Irish melody when Johnny comes marching home with a golden gate quartet.

When Johnny comes marching home again, hooray, hooray I will give him a happy welcome then, hooray, hooray The men will cheer, the boys will shout The ladies they will all turn up will all feel gay When Johnny comes marching home Well the old church bell will peel with joy Hooray, hooray Welcome home our darling boy, Ray Ray Ray

The village lads and lads she say with roses There will shrew the way, we'll all feel gay When Johnny come marching home, get ready for that jubilee ray Ray will give the hero three times three ray, ray The lollary to the ready now to place upon his loyal brow We'll all feel gay when Johnny come marching home
