Bill Bailey
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
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
