won t you come home bill bailey

Louis Armostrong

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
