Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Bring Back My Johnny to Me 
Bring Back My Johnny to Me 
He's gone, I am now sad and lonely He's left me to plough the salt sea I know that he thinks of me only And will soon be returning to me
 Some say that my love is returning To his own native country and me Blow gently the winds of the ocean And bring back my Johnny to me 
He's gone his fortunes to better I know that he's gone for my sake And I'll soon be receiving a letter Or else my poor heart it will break 
Last night as I lay on my pillow My bosom it heaved with a sigh As I thought one each angry billow While watching the clouds in the sky
