Bill Bailey Won’t You Please Come Home

Why don't you come home Bill Bailey, why don't you come home?
She cried the whole night long
'Member that rainy evening, I throwed you out
With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?
Why don't you come home Bill Bailey, why don't you come home?
She moaned and she groan'd the whole night through
Billy's too shame, but I know that I'm not blamed
Bill Bailey won't you please come home?
Why don't you come home Bill Bailey, why don't you come home?
She cried the whole night long
Remember that rainy evening, you take me out
With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?
Why don't you come home Bill Bailey, why don't you come home?
She moaned and she groan'd the whole night through
Billy's too shame, but I know that I'm not blamed
Bill Bailey won't you please come home?
Why don't you come home Bill Bailey, why don't you come home?
She cried the whole night long
I'll do the washin', honey, I'll pay the rent
Although you done me wrong
Why don't you come home Bill Bailey, why don't you come home?
She moaned and she groan'd the whole night through
I know I'm wrong still I am to blame
Bill Bailey won't you please come home?
