Johnnies Comin' Home |
| Ridin' in a boxcar |
| On the old Sante Fe |
| On my way from Texas |
| To California |
| I feel the time has come |
| To rest my weary bones |
| So I’m writin' here |
| The very last will |
| Of hobo Jonnie Jones. |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm bumm) |
| To my sister Kate |
| In New Orleans |
| I leave the memory of those things |
| She fed me |
| When I knocked upon her door |
| I’m leavin' her |
| That woodpile job |
| She can have my goldwatch bob (?) |
| Farewell, Johnnnie’s comin' home. |
| Farewell, Johnnnie’s comin' home. |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm bumm) |
| To my brother Sam |
| In Alabam' |
| I leave the memory of that ham |
| We stole |
| From farmer Brown one day. |
| I’m leavin' you |
| The dreams we had |
| Sorry mine |
| Turned out so bad. |
| Farewell, Johnnnie’s comin' home. |
| Farewell, Johnnnie’s comin' home. |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm bumm) |
| To my daddy |
| In my old home town |
| If my daddy’s still around |
| Then save |
| That fishin' rod we made |
| Daddy take that fishin' rod |
| And catch us both a mess of cod |
| Farewell, Johnnnie’s comin' home. |
| Farewell, Johnnnie’s comin' home. |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm) |
| (Bum bumm bumm bumm) |
| To my mother up |
| In heaven above |
| Awaitin' there |
| For me with love |
| Tell her I never more will roam |
| Mother, mother, wait for me |
| Open up those gates for me |
| Mamma your Jonnie’s comin' home |
| (Come home) |
| Mamma your Jonnie’s comin' home |
| (Come home) |
| Mamma your Jonnie’s comin' home! |
