Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home?
Well honey, I moan that whole night long
I'm gonna do the cookin', honey, I'll even pay the rent, yeah
I know I've done you wrong

'member that ol' rainy evenin', honey
You throw me, with nothin' but a fine tooth comb
I know I'm to blame, honey, ain't that shame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home?
Moans the whole day long
I'm gonna do the cookin', honey, I'll pay the rent
I know I've done you wrong

Remember that rainy evenin'
You drove me out, with nothin' but a fine tooth comb
I know that I'm to blame, 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 day long
I'll do the cookin', honey, I'll pay the rent
I know I've done you wrong

Remember that rainy evenin'
You drove me out, with nothin' but a fine tooth comb
I know I'm to blame, ain't that a shame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come back to me?
I moan the whole day long
Gonna do that cookin', honey, I'll pay the rent
I know I've done you wrong

Remember that rainy evenin'
You drove me out, with nothin' but a fine tooth comb
I know I'm to blame, ain't that a shame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home
