Your mother is sitting in a room all alone, Johnny why don't you come home, come home. I have looked every place I can think of and cant find the other 3 verses to this song. |

So could it be that this is the right song, and your memory has fooled you? Check out a couple of versions of the lyrics here. |

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 -. Hope that this helps. Skipy |

TeleriElf, can you tell us more about the style of music, please? Any more information would help. Do you know who sang it? Helen |
