Bee Gees - Come Home Johnny Bride Lyrics






I'm full of pride and my heart feels good
Got news from my fam'ly 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
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

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]

    Love this song and this era of The Bee Gees!  "Live in a Tin Can" might be my fave album of theirs.  People that think the Brothers Gibb were only disco are either clueless, or very young; lol!

    M.... T....

    Also, "Odessa" and "Two Years On."  Actually, I love all their works!!!

  3. R.... M....

    SONO TUTTE BELLISSIME LE CANZONI DEI GRANDI MITI, I BEE GEES. IO AMO SEMPRE MOLTISSIMO QUESTI 3 FANTASTICI RAGAZZI, SIA INSIEME CHE DA SOLISTI!

    Muchas gracias, Pierluigi, por poner el vídeo.

  8. C.... H....

    Una atractiva canción de corte "country", como siempre estupendos los tres hermanos Gibb!

  9. K.... P....

    That is pretty much a Country song from that time period. Never heard it before now.

  10. D.... H....

    Love all the songs on Life In A Tin Can in 1973..I was shining my shoes in boot camp in Texas and the only Bee Gees cassette I could find was the great Life In A Tin Can ..goes to show how much talent they have...Bee Gees will always make me feel...feel...feel. good....

  11. D.... H....

    Love the Bee Gees...A great album...Love Barry... Maurice in the middle... Robin.......The Bee Gees...love them ever since 1967..New York Mining Disaster 1941..The Brothers Gibb...

  12. M.... ....

    Wonderful song.

  13. 5.... ....

    Love this, how would I go about buying this cd? Our book stores only have a few of their cd's and I bought the ones they had. Cute, catchy tune. Love Barry's vibrato! Do I hear a little country twang?

    5.... ....

    STRIP BEE GEES MUSIC DOWN, AND ITS ALL A BIT COUNTRY/COUNTRY SOUL FROM THOSE DAYS.

  14. K.... S....

    One of my favourite Barry Gibb Songs !!!

  15. J.... J....

    I was once at a meeting in the States, with the brothers.
    They were asked what in their opinion, what was their worst album.
    After talking amongst themselves they said. Life In A Tin Can!

    J.... J....

    Not a fair question! - none of them are "bad", so the question is not valid! they should have been asked, for example, which they liked the least.

  16. 5.... ....

    Catchy tune. Love it. First time hearing it for me

  17. b.... ....

    Thanks for this HQ post.
    This song is betwen in more than 100 betther of the Bee Gees...Life In A Tin Can album is wonderful...Bee Gees Country style...

  18. L.... C....

    E una de gli canzoni dei BEE GEES io prefero ! It's one of the BEE GEES songs I prefer !

  19. P.... ....

    @carolinasbeauty I was quite sure that was your favourite period :-). Mine it's from Mr. Natural to Spirits Having Flown, but of course I love also all the rest :-). You're welcome friend

  20. g.... ....

    Muy buena epoca de Bee Gees, esta es una muestra verdadera de la capacidad de estos muchachos, y que no solo se piense que hicieron musica disco, que en realidad no fue tampoco asi, era musica "Funk" bueno excelente cancion !

  21. c.... ....

    I'm pretty sure I don't have a "favorite" Bee Gees period. They had me from "My old Man's a Dustman" in the land down under - to today. I've been watching Barry & Robin try to get the magic back, but I'm really torn. Sometimes, as in this case, you don't know what you have until it's gone. I miss Mo's understated harmony with Barry & Robin. I do guess I have to "fess up" and admit I like their career most in the late 60's to early 70's. There, you made me say it! Thanks again, friend!

  22. P.... ....

    their magic is just their voices :-)

  23. P.... ....

    @carolinasbeauty thank you very much, do you want to make me blush? :-) You know all the fans have a favourite period in the immense Bee Gees career (me too of course) and maybe this is not the most popular, but if you are a real fan, despite your favourite Bee Gees period, you can appreciate a masterpiece when you hear one :-). I definitely agree with you when you say they could sing everything (telephone book incuded I add) and I'd love it too, maybe (and it's not a drop in the ocean) because

  24. c.... ....

    @ZaldarEagle You are a scholar and a gentleman - not to mention kind. Or...YOU ROCK. - depending on your generation. I don't understand why many fans dissed this album. But then again, in my humble opinion, The Bee Gees could and did sing Lollipop and I'd love it! Many thanks.

  25. P.... ....

    @carolinasbeauty you're welcome carolinasbeauty, I couldn't find this song on youtube so I decided to upload it

  26. c.... ....

    I absolutely loved 2 songs on this album. This one and "I saw a new morning" Thank's for posting! I wore out my vinyl album!
