Bring Back That Leroy Brown
Words and music by Freddie Mercury
There are several other songs about Leroy Brown, most notable "Bad Bad Leroy
Brown" by Jim Croce (available on several compilation albums) which is lyrically
very similar. There is also a song by Frank Sinatra which mentions him. Leroy
Brown seems to have been either a 1930s Chicago gangster, though whether he
was fictional or real (or a pseudonym of someone) isn't really known.
