The Comeback Songtext
von Count Basie and His Orchestra

I know my baby
Is going to jump and shout
I know my baby
The girl is gonna jump and shout
When the train rolls up
And I come walkin′ out

Hold out, baby
I'll be home one day
Hold out, baby
I′ll be home one day
Please don't let nobody
Lead my little girl astray

Oh, well, baby
Girl, you know that I love you
Oh, my little baby
Girl, you know that I love you
Because you can treat me low down and dirty
And I'll come back home and worry you


Well, I′ve been gone
But now I′m comin' back
Well, I′ve been gone, I've been gone
I′ve been gone, been gone, I've been gone
But now I′m coming back
It seems I've been gone so long, so long
'Til I don′t know how to act

Bye-bye, baby
I guess I′ll be on my way
Bye-bye, baby
I guess I'll be on my way
I′ll find my lovin' baby girl
Somewhere, somehow, someday

I know my baby, I know my baby
Is gonna jump and shout
She′s gonna jump and shout
I know my baby, I know my baby
Is gonna jump and shout
Before when the train rolls up
And her daddy comes walkin' out


Hold out, baby
I′ll be home one day
Hold out, baby
Hold out, baby
Hold out, baby
Hold out, baby
Please don't let nobody
Lead my little girl astray
I love you, baby
I love you, oh yeah
