| I’m full of pride and my heart feels good
|
| Got news from my family up in the woods
|
| At last I can go back where I belong
|
| Sweated it all out for nine long years
|
| Couldn’t believe the voice in my ears
|
| When the man saying «No hiding, son»
|
| So I left the only folks I had known
|
| I was fifteen then, hardly grown
|
| When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
|
| Couldn’t get back and I couldn’t go far
|
| Said to myself stay right where you are
|
| Done found yourself a Ma and Pa
|
| Everybody said the kid’s no good
|
| Come home Johnny Bridie come home
|
| Johnny Bridie come home
|
| We’re all wrong without you
|
| How did we ever doubt you
|
| He confessed to the killing
|
| It’s his role we had you filling
|
| We didn’t really mean to make you sad
|
| But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad
|
