The bandmaster and composer took the melody from "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye," another war-related song, but one that has a somewhat dissimilar message. The first printed sheet music for the song credits the words and music to Louis Lambert, which was determined later to be a pen name for Patrick S. Gilmore. Born in Ireland, Gilmore came to America in the 1840s along with many others who fled the famine of those years. He was a gifted musician, becoming Bandmaster for the United States Army during the Civil War and, in post-war years, the organizer of Monster Peace-Jublilees featuring orchestras of a thousand musicians and choruses of 10,000 voices.

The lyrics to When Johnny Comes Marching Home were written by the Irish-American bandleader Patrick Gilmore during the American Civil War. Its first sheet music publication was deposited in the Library of Congress on September 26, 1863, with words and music credited to "Louis Lambert"; copyright was retained by the publisher, Henry Tolman & Co., of Boston.

Primacy of one version over another is difficult to prove conclusively because most versions were never written down or published. Remember, B-flat is B-flat D F. B-flat to A major. This time we're using root position, not an inversion.
