Has anyone the missing lyrics ( chords even better) for following song "Johnnie in the Morning" which was written by Martin Young from Kent, England.   Heard it on the CD ' Climbing Boy' by Martin Long ( but he is now calling himself Martin Young) from UK.


                Johnnie in the Morning

I have nowhere to call my home so I'll travel on alone
And I can take all .................................................................
And I sleep up on me cart with no tears when I depart
And they know me as Johnnie in the morning


I have donkeys for to sell though I love them very well
And with rock salt and silver sand I can supply you
And I'll gladly hand out sweets to the children that I meet
Then I'll go out on my way when I've a mind to


I have come from Bristol town and I'm known for miles around
............................................................ have I sold her
And if the weather it is fine then I'll stop and pass the time
For I have no cares to weigh down on my shoulders


Well it's a solitary life but I've known it for a while
Oh I listened to me father's          warning
Though no-one knows me name but they greet me just the same
And they call me Johnny in the morning


So I'll travel where I please with no-one to bother me
And I'll take shelter when the wind and rain is storming
And then slowly I'll arrive, with time it's on my side
It's " Welcome, Johnny in the Morning"

Don't have a lyric sheet, but I'll tell Martin you're trying to find out. He's a guest at the Tenterden Festival 6/7/8 October
Good luck!

Verse 1. I can take all the jibes and the scorning

Verse 3. And there's these two ........ that I've sold her
              ( can't get these missing words)

Verse 4. Oh, I listened to my father's many warnings

Verse 5    And then slowly I'll arrive, but time is on me side
             And it's farewell from Johnnie in the morning

Young Martin!

Martin may be living in Kent but he hails from East London/Essex and many of his songs are about local events and places.

Here's a web-page for him http://www.guestlistwebarts.co.uk/young/
