original by: Hughie Cannon

from The Speakeasy Serenaders: Songs Of The People (2013 April 30) (2:28)
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home?
She moans the whole day long
I'll do the cookin darlin, I'll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
Member that rainy evenin that I drove you out with nothing but a fine-tooth comb
I know I'm to blame, well 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?
She moans the whole day long
I'll do the cookin darlin, I'll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
Member that rainy evenin that I drove you out with nothing but a fine-tooth comb
I know I'm to blame, well 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?
She moans the whole day long
I'll do the cookin darlin, I'll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
Member that rainy evenin that I drove you out with nothing but a fine-tooth comb
(I think it was a brush) (Are you sure?)
I know I'm to blame, well ain't that a shame
Bill Bailey won't you please
Bill Bailey won't you please
Bill Bailey won't you please come home
