Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home

I moan the whole night long

I'll do the cookin', honey, I'll pay the rent

I know I done you wrong

Remember that rainy eve' that

I drove you out with nothin' but a fine tooth comb

Yes, I know that I'm to blame, and ain't that a shame

Bill Bailey, won't you please come home

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home

I moan the whole night long

I'm-a gonna do your cookin', honey, I'm-a gonna pay your rent

I know that I've done you wrong

Remember that rainy eve' that

I drove you out with nothin' but a fine tooth comb

Well, I know that I'm to blame, and ain't that a dirty

Low-down shame

Bill Bailey, won't you please come home

Come home, come home, Bill Bailey

Bill Bailey, won't you please come on home

Come home, Bill Bailey

Bill Bailey, won't you please come on home

Come on home
