Come Home Johnny Birdie

Lyrics

I left the only folks I had known  
I was fifteen then , hardly grown  
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud  
Couldn't get back and I couldn't go far  
Said to myself stay right where you are  
Done found yourself a Ma and Pa  
Ev'rybody said the kid's no good  
  
Come Home Johnny Bride come home  
Johnny Bride come home  
We're all wrong without you  
How did we ever doubt you  
He confessed to the killing  
It's his role we had you filling  
We didn't really mean to make you sad  
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad  
  
(repeat last verse and fade out about line 6)
