cnd Lyr Req: Go home, your mother wants you (8) RE: Lyr Req: Go home, your mother wants you 28 Aug 23


It was weirdly difficult for me to find (I could only access it by clicking a link found on Google and having it redirect me, not by searching Spotify), but a song called Go Home by Carl Yale and Primo Scala and his Accordion Band is available on Spotify, via the album Nimbus Record & Ray Crick present: Retrospective - Primo Scala (2013). It ultimately comes from a 1947 Decca single (click). Though it's the same song, it likely only used the first stanza and chorus of probably 2-4 more, if it's anything like the sheet music of most pop songs from those days I've seen. Here's my transcription:

Johnny Brown loved Mary when they were both sixteen
Mary was contrary, a saucy village queen
She loved the men about the town, had no time for Johnny Brown
And every time he came her way she'd look at him and say:

"Go home, your mother wants you
Go home, she's calling you
Tell her I love another
And I'll never never never marry you
Go home, go on home
You can take your bat and ball in
I've got Frank Sinatra calling
Go home, your mother wants you
Go home, she's calling you
Tell her I love another
And I'll never never never marry you"
