Lyrics:

Well, won't you come home, Bill Bailey?
Won't you come home?
I'm on the whole night long
I'll do the cookin', honey
I'll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
Yeah, I remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out
With nothin' but a fine-tooth comb
Yeah, I know I'm to blame
Well, ain't it a shame
Oh, Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?

Yeah, now won't you come home, Bill Bailey?
Won't you come home?
I'm on the whole night long
I'll do the cookin', honey
I'll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
Yeah now, remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out
With nothin' but a fine-tooth comb
Yeah, I know I'm to blame
Well, ain't it a shame
Oh, Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?

Well, I remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out
With nothin' but a fine-tooth comb
I know I'm to blame
Well, ain't it a shame
Oh, Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?
