James Taylor - Johnnie Comes Back Lyrics
All last week and half of today, Johnnie has been a good little girl.
Trying to keep her devils at bay, watching her health return.
But she always comes back for more, hanging her head and banging my door,
Johnnie comes back again.
I said, Johnnie remember, oh, Johnnie be good, "Please give me some medicine, man."
Where'd she get that tear in her eye?
Whoever said she could leave me, where'd she learn to say good-bye?
She's been watching too much T.V., she only shows up for meals,
my medicine chest and my automobiles. Johnnie comes back again.
I said, Johnnie remember, oh, Johnnie be good, "Please give me some medicine, man."
Oh Johnnie comes back again.
Me, I'm just an evil demon, I'm playing on her weakness,
counting on her sickness to bring her home again.
Fighting and flashing like a fish on a line, my God, she must despise me.
But she always comes back again, now it won't be long 'til she's gone again,
Johnnie comes back again.
I said, Johnnie remember, oh, Johnnie be good, "Please give me some medicine, man."
Oh Johnnie comes back again.

James Taylor Johnnie Comes Back Comments
Flag was considered a bit of a disappointment back in 1979. Most likely because it followed the critically acclaimed JT (1977). However this was one if its stronger tracks
I personally think Rainy Day Man, Millworker, and Up on the Roof were the best songs on this record, and coincidentally they were all in order later on the album.
James "Up On The Roof" will always be my favorite version, and "Millworker" wow, although it's done better by Bette Midler.... 1979 really had some juxtaposed music that made it a really special time for me. And Rickie Lee Jones debut album came out... It was like nothing else. An artist's artist....
Really. .Sleep come free me?
Barry Smith I appreciated Flag a decade after it debuted.
Barry Smith what album was Frozen Man? That’s a great track too.
I heard this on an old episode of SNL and i was pissed that I couldn't shazam it
That episode was on Netflix a couple of years ago, unfortunately its not on there anymore.
@Robert it's on Dailymotion! Season 4, episode 18. Michael Palin hosts!
@Daniel Cropp Thanks man. Was it recently added, because I think it may have been removed.
