Definitely the way the song was meant to be. The point of the song is that the singer doesn't actually believe that Johnny ever comes home. It's just a wishful song, not meant to be triumphant.
Think of the later verses: Church bells, lining the way with roses, laying a wreath on his “brow.” Johnny comes marching home, but in a pine box carried by 6.
It really fits the setting I first heard it in: Hoi IV Kaiserreich. (The superevents submod.) It starts playing when the Second American Civil War kicks off. Which without player intervention tends to last for years and result in millions dead.
Thanks for posting this. The tone of the song really puts into perspective the outlook the people of the time had of the civil war. It is to this day the war that killed the most Americans after all.
We’ll all went down to New Orleans For Bales, For Bales. We all went down to New Orleans For bales, Says I. We all went down to New Orleans to get a peek behind the scenes We’ll all drink stone blind, Johnny Fill up the Bowl.
Johnny must have been one hell of an attractive man If he turned all “the village lads and lassies” gay “Oh my god this kid doesn’t know that gay meant happy back in the 1860’s”
You did a great job making it sound as more of wishful thinking, which is really in line with a lot of union soldiers simply fighting to keep the union of America.
It was definitely written in the civil war, but the original version was lost to time. So now the only version left is the 2nd sc string band version, but it’s the closest to the original we have because it was passed down through generations into the 2nd sc
Let me see here! A Union of States where slavery is enshrined in its US constitution (Migration and Importantion Clause, Fugitive Slave Clause. 3/5 Compromise Clause, 4th Amendment, 5th Amendment and 10th Amendment. Also in the laws of its Congress: i.e.1820 Missouri Compromise, 1850 Fugitive Slave Act and 1854 Kansas - Nebrasks Act, etc. and SCOTUS decisions like Dred Scott v Sanford) invades a Confederation of States to STOP SLAVERY? HUH? Why is there a controversy? As South Carolina and other States legally seceded from the Union, the North invaded the now-Confederacy for control of southern cash crops that fed the US Treasury (to the tune of 70%), secured bank loans as collateral, supplied northern industries with raw materials and, across the Atlantic, supplied their industries (The Industrial Revolution) as well. Three non-Confederate Sources: English author, Charles Dickens, author of A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist: "The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control ( cotton and other raw materials) of the Southern states." This short telegram, from US General William Tecumseh Sherman to Abraham Lincoln, is dated December 22, 1864. “I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition and also about 25,000 bales of COTTON,” Sherman wrote. In 1924, the US Federal Reserve issued their report on the History of Cotton. Please note in 1800 there was no cotton production. By 1850, COTTON supplied 53.36% of the US exports. By 1870, COTTON supplied a whopping 60.28%. fraser.stlouisfed.org/files/docs/publications/FRB/pages/1920-1924/26396_1920-1924.pdf The North invaded the Confederacy for control of southern cash crops and the money it supplied.

@@UnitedStatesEnclave Assuming youre a confederate, what was the civil war about? States rights? What are "states rights"? Diddnt the US attempt a less federally centered government under the articles of confederation and it failed miserably, leading to the US constitution which focused more on the unity of the states into one strong nation?

That's how we heard it, for sure. We really wanted to make sure that interpretation of the song existed.

This is by far the best version of this song.
It just didn't exist the way we heard it in our heads. Hopefully this fills that gap.
New rendition is also out, too! Battle Cry of Freedom.
Either of you ever tried listening to Johnny I hardly knew ya?
I do believe it's the original Irish folk song, that this music was taken from?
@@southland2424 I love your version, it makes me feel more emotion than than others
@@josephinekelly6888 Johnny I hardly knew ya is a traditional English song not Irish.
