Bridgeton by Robert Carlyle

From the Frankie Miller Tribute with Kevin McKidd on guitar and Scottish actor Ian Robertson. The track recorded in Cava Studios Glasgow opened the tribute album and served as the intro to Fish with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, featuring Brian (Robbo) Robertson (no relation) on lead. Bridgeton lyrics by Frankie Miller I left my home in Bridgeton town With all the buildings falling down Went to seek my fortune went to seek my fame All the folks I knew so well All the stories fit to tell My Ma said “The boy child’s got to roam“ Lord knows when I’ll wend my way back home Well I wander here and I wander there Wander almost everywhere Got to find my baby to find my soul Lord knows when I’ll wend my way back home Though I’m not in trouble, though I’m not in pain Each and every bar room get to look the same I’ve been up all night just walking around With all the places shutting down Looking at the long lost lonely souls Lord knows when I’ll wend my way back home Though I’m not in trouble, though I’m not in pain Each and every bar room get to look the same I’ve been up all night just walking around With all the places shutting down Looking at the long lost lonely souls Lord knows when I’ll wend my way back home Yea the Lord knows when I’ll wend my way back home Got to find my home I said the Lord knows when I’ll wend my way back home
