Come Home Johnny Bridie - Bee Gees

I’m full of pride and my heart feels good

Got news from my family up in the woods

At last I can go back where I belong

Sweated it all out for nine long years

Couldn’t believe the voice in my ears

When the man saying «No hiding, son»

So 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

Everybody said the kid’s no good

Come home Johnny Bridie come home

Johnny Bridie 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

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

Everybody said the kid’s no good

Come Home Johnny Bridie come home

Johnny Bridie 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
