Lyrics Johnny Come Lately

I'm an American boy and 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 Iittle while but we're in this fight

Ain't going home 'till 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 turn out the lights

Death rainin' out of the London night

We made love 'till dawn

But when Johnny come lately comes marching home

Chest full of medals and a Gl loan

They'll be waitin' at the station down in San Antone

When Johnny comes marching home

My P-Forty Seven 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

Never find nothing like my North End girl

I'm taking her home with me one day sir soon as we win this war

But when Johnny come lately comes marching home

Chest full of medals and a Gl loan

They'll be waitin' at the station down in San Antone

When Johnny comes marching home

Johnny

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 through out his land

Now I'm standing on a runway in San Diego

A couple purple Hearts and I move a little slow

There's nobody here maybe nobody knows 'bout a place called Vietnam

But when Johnny come lately comes marching home

Chest full of medals and a Gl loan

They'll be waitin' at the station down in San Antone

When Johnny comes marching home

But when Johnny come lately comes marching home

Chest full of medals and a Gl loan

They'll be waitin' at the station down in San Antone

When Johnny comes marching home

Hey

Hey, hey

Hey eeh

Hey, hey
