Johnny came to London just a-lookin' for a job
Johnny saw the signs but he didn't see a job
Johnny joined a circus, ran a picket at a fair
And Johnny sold his body any time, anywhere
Johnny come home
Johnny come home to me
Johnny come home
Johnny come home to me
Johnny met a stranger in a Charing Cross bar
Stranger said, "Johnny, have you come very far?
Have you got anywhere, got a place to sleep?
I've got a little room in a house I keep"
Johnny come home
Johnny come home to me
Johnny come home
Johnny come home to me
Johnny wrote his mother, "I'm doin' fine
I'll be back for good next time
I'm savin' the money from the work I do
I'll be comin' right back to you
I know it's rude and I won't compare
I know you miss me and I know you care
I think of you when I get lonely
I'll be back when I make some money"

Johnny met a Jew up in Denmark Street
To make a little money, he took a little heat
Went back to the house and he came to his town
They chopped Johnny up and they washed him down
Johnny come home
Johnny come home to me
Johnny come home
Johnny come home to me
ย
Johnny come home to me
