Bill Bailey, Won't You Come Home Songtext
von Big Bill Broonzy

Why don′t you come home, Bill Bailey?
Why don't you come home?
She cried the whole night long

′Member that rainy evening
You drove me out
Didn't have nothing but a fine-tooth comb?

Why don't you come home, Bill Bailey?
Why don′t you come home?
She moaned, yes she groaned the whole night through

Billy it′s a shame, but I know that I'm the blamed
So 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've done me wrong

Why don′t you come home Bill Bailey?
Why don′t you come home?
She moaned, yes she groaned the whole night through

Billy's it′s a shame, but I know that I'm the blamed
So Bill Bailey, pack your clothes
Beat it on home
