James Brown - Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home

Lyrics

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

I've moaned the whole night long

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

I know I done you wrong

You remember that rainy evenin'

I threw you out with nothin' but a fine-tooth comb

Ya, I know I'm to blame; now, ain't it a shame?

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

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

I've moaned that whole day long

I'll do all the cookin', honey, I'll even pay the rent

I know that I have done you oh-so wrong

You remember that rainy evenin'

I throwed you out with nothin' but a fine-tooth comb

I know I'm to blame; now, ain't it a shame?

So, baby, won't you, please, come

I said now, won't you, please, come

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