Lyrics for Johnny Come Lately by Earle Steve:
| | | Artist: | Earle Steve |
| | Album: | Copperhead Road | | Track: | Johnny Come Lately | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 341 | | | | Lyrics: | I'm an American, boys. I've come a long way
I was born and bred in the USA
So listen up
close, I've get something to say
Boys, I'm buying this round
Well it took a Little while
but we're in this fight
And we ain't going home 'til we've done what's right
We're gonna
drink Camden Town dry tonight
If I have to spend my last pound
When I first got to London
it was pourin' down rain
Met a Iittle girl in the field canteen
Painted her name on the
nose of my plane
Six more missions I'm gone
Well I asked if I could stay and she said that
I might
Then the warden came around yelling "shut out the lights"
Death rainin' out of the
London night
We made love 'til dawn
When Johnny Come Lately comes marching
home
With a chest full of medals and a G.l. loan
They'll be waitin' at the station down in
San Antone
When Johnny comes marching home
MY P-47 is a pretty good ship
She
took a round coming cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and letting her
rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big
world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one
day, sir
Soon as we win this war
When Johnny Come Lately comes marching
home
With a chest full of medals and a G.l. loan
They'll be waitin' at the station down in
San Antone
When Johnny comes marching home
Now my granddaddy sang me this
song
Told me about London when the Blitz was on
How he married Grandma and brought her
back home
A hero throughout this land
Now I'm standing on a runway in San Diego
A
couple o' Purple Hearts so I move a little slow
ain't nobody here, maybe nobody
knows
