Won't you come home, bill bailey, won't you come home

I've moaned the whole night long

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

I know i done you wrong

You remember that rainy evenin'

I threw you out....with nothin' but a fine tooth comb

Ya, i know i'm to blame, now... ain't it a shame

Bill bailey, won't you please come home

(instrumental break)

Won't you come home, bill bailey, won't you come on home

I've moaned that whole day long

I'll do all the cookin' honey, i'll even pay the rent

I know, that i have done you, oh so, wrong

You remember that rainy evenin'

I throwed you out, with nothin but a fine tooth comb

I know i'm to blame, now... ain't it a shame

So baby, won't you please come

I said now, won't you please come

Bill bailey, won't you please.... come on home
