Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home (Original Session Take)

[Verse 1]

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey

Come on home

I know that I’ve done you wrong

Now, I'll do the cookin', honey

And I’ll even pay your rent

I know I've done you wrong

[Bridge]

Do you remember that rainy evening

I threw you out

With nothing but a fine tooth comb

And I know that I'm to blame

And it's a low down dirty shame

Bill Bailey, come on home

[Verse 2]

I wonder will you come on home, Bill Bailey

Come on now

I know that I've done you wrong

I'll do all the burnin', honey

'Cause I can’t cook

I know that I’ve done you wrong

[Bridge]

Do you remember that rainy evеning

I threw you out

With nothing but a fine tooth comb

And I know that I'm to blame

And it’s a low down dirty shamе

Bill Bailey, come on now

[Outro]

My Bill, come on home

I'm sitting here a little troubled in mind

The way I am, I didn't think that you would leave me behind

Come on home, Bill, right now

Come on home, Bill, right now

You oughta put on your coat, come on home now

You oughta put on your shoes, I said come on home now

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, Bill

Woo hoo hoo, come on now

Please, Bill, everything's alright

Bill Bailey, try to make it home by tonight

Please, Bill, I need you here

My Bill, come on now

Bill Bailey, won’t you please come home

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah
