The full lyrics
Shule Agra
My Johnny he has gone across the sea,
He’s left me wid a wee babie,
An’ whin he cames back he might wed me,
Oh, my Johnny has gone for a soldier –
Shu-le, shu-le, shu-le, shu-le agra,
Sure, ah, sure, an’ he loves me,
And when he comes back he’ll marry me,
Oh my Johnny has gone for a soldier.
