Bring It On Home
Johnny Winter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you ever change your mind
About leavin', leavin' me behind
Baby, bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah

You know I cried when you left
But now I only, only hurt myself
Baby, bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah

You know I'll always be your slave
Until I'm buried, buried in my grave




Baby, bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

In Johnny Winter's song Bring It On Home, the singer pleads for his lover to come back to him. He states that if she ever changes her mind about leaving him behind, she should bring her sweet loving and bring it on home to him. He confesses that he cried when she left, but now he only hurts himself. He then declares that he will always be her slave until he's buried in his grave.


The lyrics suggest a feeling of vulnerability and desperation. The singer seems to be willing to do anything to get his lover back, even though he acknowledges that he is hurting himself in the process. The repetition of the phrase "bring it on home to me" reinforces the plea for his lover to return. The line "you know I'll always be your slave" also indicates a sense of powerlessness on the singer's part.
