Johnny Come Lately

歌詞

I'm an American, boys, I've come a long way I was born and bred in the USA So listen up close, I've get something to say Boys, I'm buying this round Well, it took a little while, but we're in this fight Ain't going home til we've done what's right We're gonna drink Camden Town dry tonight If I have to spend my last pound When I first got to London, it was pouring down rain Met a little girl in the field canteen Painted her name on the nose of my plane Six more missions, I'm gone Well, I asked if I could stay, and she said that I might Then the warden came around, yelling, "Shut out the lights" Death raining out of the London night We made love til dawn Well, when Johnny Come Lately comes marching home Chest full of medals and a GI loan They'll be waiting at the station down in San Antone When Johnny comes marching home My P-47 is a pretty good ship She took a round coming 'cross the channel last trip I was thinking 'bout my baby and letting her rip Always got me through so far Well, they can ship me all over this great big world Never find nothing like my North End girl Taking her home with me one day, sir Soon as we win this war When Johnny Come Lately comes marching home Chest full of medals and a GI loan They'll be waiting at the station down in San Antone When Johnny comes marching home Now, my granddaddy sang me this song Told me about London when the Blitz was on How he married grandma and brought her back home A hero throughout this land Now, I'm standing on a runway in San Diego Took a Purple Heart, so I move a little slow There's nobody here, maybe nobody knows About a place called Vietnam When Johnny Come Lately comes marching home Chest full of medals and a GI loan They'll be waiting at the station down in San Antone When Johnny comes marching home When Johnny Come Lately comes marching home Chest full of medals and a GI loan They'll be waiting at the station down in San Antone When Johnny comes marching home
