Folk Blues: Bill Bailey - Big Bill Broonzy

Why don’t you come home Bill Bailey, why don’t you come home?

She cried the whole night long

'Member that rainy evening, I throwed you out

With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?

Why don’t you come home Bill Bailey, why don’t you come home?

She moaned and she groan’d the whole night through

Billy’s too shame, but I know that I’m not blamed

Bill Bailey won’t you please come home?

Why don’t you come home Bill Bailey, why don’t you come home?

She cried the whole night long

Remember that rainy evening, you take me out

With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?

Why don’t you come home Bill Bailey, why don’t you come home?

She moaned and she groan’d the whole night through

Billy’s too shame, but I know that I’m not blamed

Bill Bailey won’t you please come home?

Why don’t you come home Bill Bailey, why don’t you come home?

She cried the whole night long

I’ll do the washin', honey, I’ll pay the rent

Although you done me wrong

Why don’t you come home Bill Bailey, why don’t you come home?

She moaned and she groan’d the whole night through

I know I’m wrong still I am to blame

Bill Bailey won’t you please come home?
