Subject: Lyr Req: Looking for a songs lyrics
From: GUEST

I keep hearing this song at the KC Renfest every year but cant seem to find the lyrics

First verse is:

Johnny why dont you come home, come home
Johnny why dont you come home.
Your mother is sitting in a room all alone
Johnny why dont you come home, come home.

Maybe it's the middle of the night there.
It's 5pm here but I don't know the answer!

I am finding zip on the web. (Is it to the tune of "Ninety-nine bottles of beer"?)

From: Splott Man

It's by the Fine Young Cannibals:



Nobody knows the trouble you feel

Nobody cares the feeling is real.

Johnny
we're sorry
won't you come on home?
We worry
won't you come on?
What is wrong in my life that I must get drunk every night ?
Johnny
we're sorry.

Use the phone
call your mum - she's missing you badly

missing her so
Who do you know
where will you stay?
Big city life is not what they say.
Johnny
we're sorry
won't you come on home? . . .

You'd better go home
everything's closed

Can't find a room
money's all blown.
Nowhere to sleep out in the cold
nothing to eat
nowhere to go.
Johnny
we're sorry
won't you come on home? . . .

Won't you come on home ? We worry
won't you come on home ?
Johnny
won't you come on home? We worry -.

I'm afraid the Fine Young Cannibals song obviously isn't the one that was requested, because it doesn't contain anything like the lyrics that were quoted in the request.

And it isn't the kind of song anyone would sing at a Renaissance Festival.

Sorry!

Only trying to help. Not obvious to me.

And the lyrics are similar enough for me to post it.

And sorry again for not being familiar with the musical protocols of the Rennaiscancew Festival.
