[Verse][x2]

Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home?

I moan the whole night long

I'll do the cooking, honey, I'll pay the rent

I know that I've done you wrong

Remember that rainy eve that I drove you out

With nothing but a fine tooth comb

Yes, I know that I'm to blame and ain't that a shame

Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?

[Outro]

Come home, come home, Bill Bailey

Bill Bailey, won't you please come on home?[x2]
