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
