Johnny Stew Lyrics
Johnny, oh johnny,
Where do you roam?
Well always remain here,
So dont leave us alone.
Some say they knew him,
And some just left him alone.
Johnny, oh johnny,
Where do you roam?
Johnny, johnny, johnny!
(everybodys talking about the amazing johnny stew.)
Johnny, johnny, johnny!
(everybodys talking about the amazing johnny stew.)
It takes a worried man, now,
To sing a worried song.
Johnny, oh johnny,
I know you were not wrong.
Where do you roam?
Well always remain here,
So dont leave us alone.
Some say they knew him,
And some just left him alone.
Johnny, oh johnny,
Where do you roam?
(everybodys talking about the amazing johnny stew.)
(everybodys talking about the amazing johnny stew.)
To sing a worried song.
Johnny, oh johnny,
I know you were not wrong.

Clearly an homage to the late John Stewart of the Kingston Trio. Buckingham has credited Stewart for his fingerpicking style, which he claimed to have learned from Stewart’s banjo playing. Also, Buckingham produced several of Stewart’s solo albums including 1979’s Bombs Away Dream Babies which included the Top Ten single, Gold. Stewart later recorded his own tribute to the Fleetwood Mac guitarist, “Liddy Buck.”
