BILL BAILEY, WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME
(Hughie Cannon)
PATSY CLINE (DECCA 31671, 1964)

Won't you come home Bill Bailey
Won't you come home
I'll moan the whole night long
I'll do the cooking, honey
I'll pay the rent
I know that I've done you wrong
Ah, 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 ashame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home

Well, won't you come home Bill Bailey
Won't you come home
I'll moan the whole night long
I'm a-gonna do your cooking, honey
I'm a-gonna pay your 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
Well, I know that I'm to blame
And ain't that a dirty low down shame
Bill Bailey, won't you please come home
Come home, Bill Bailey
Bill Bailey, won't you please come on home
Come home, Bill Bailey
Bill Bailey, won't you please come on home
