Won't You come home Bill Bailey? Come on home
She moans the whole day long
I'll do that cooking, honey
I'll pay the rent
I know I've done you wrong

Remember that rainy evening I drove you out
You had nothing but a fine tooth comb
Now I know that I'm to blame
Ain't that a shame?
Bill Bailey won't you please come home

Now won't You come home Bill Bailey? Come on home
She moans the whole day long
I'll do that cooking, honey
I'll pay the rent
I know I've done you wrong

Now remember that rainy evening I drove you out
You had nothing but a fine tooth comb
Now I know that I'm to blame
Oh, ain't that a shame?
Bill Bailey won't you please come home

One more time now
Won't You come home, Bill Bailey? Come on home
She moans the whole day long
I'll do that cooking, honey
I'll pay the rent
Cause I know I've done you wrong

Now remember that rainy evening I drove you out
With nothing but a fine tooth comb
Now I know I'm to blame
And it's a low down crying shame
Mister William Bailey please come home
