(Hey, Bill Bailey, Don't look now but somebody's calling you.
Who? Why, your lady friend, that's who.
If I were you, if I were you, I'd get my little old self home)

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

Do you remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out with nothin' but a fine tooth comb?
Yeah, I know I'm to blame, ain't it a shame
Bailey, won't you please come home

(A'walk on home, Bill.)

(Ah, like it like that!)

(Hey, Bailey! Let's go on home one more time ya'hear?)

(And you are bald!)
I know I'm to blame, well ain't it a shame
