aileen stanley - bill bailey, won't you please come home? lyrics

[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?”
