[Lyric] Bill Bailey Wont You Please Come Home? (Aileen Stanley)

[Intro]
On one summer's day
Sun was shinin' fine
Lady love, I'll hold you Bailey
Was hanging clothes like a line in her backyard
And weepin' hard

[Verse 1]
She married a mean old grape-man
That took and throwed her down
Hollerin' like a pumba cat with a big [?] hangin' round
Entered the crowd, she yelled aloud

[Chorus]
"Won't you come home, Bill Bailey?
Won't you come home?"
She moans the whole day long
"I'll do the cooking, darlin', I'll pay the rent
I knows I done you wrong
'Member that rainy eve dat I drove you out
With nothin' but a fine tooth comb
I knows I's to blame and ain't that a shamе
Bill Bailey, won't you please comе home?"
[Verse 2]
Bill broke by that door in an automobile
A great big diamond, coach and footman
Hear that big gal squeal
"He's all alone", I heard her groan
She hollered through that door:
"Bill Bailey, is you sore?
Stop, oh Billy
Won't you listen to me?
Won't I won't see you no more?
Bill winked his eye as he heard her cry

[Chorus]
"Won't you come home, Bill Bailey?
Won't you come home?"
She moans the whole day long
"I'll do the cooking, darlin', I'll pay the rent
I knows I done you wrong
'Member that rainy eve dat I drove you out
With nothin' but a fine tooth comb
I knows I's to blame and ain't that a shame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?"
