Fitzgerald Ella Won`t You Come Home Bill Bailey Lyrics

Won`t You Come Home Bill Bailey Lyrics

Thank you, you're very kind.
Won't you come home Bill Bailey?
Won't you
come home?
Ah you've been away...too long
I do that cooking honey
You
just bring home the money.
Bill Bailey, please come on home.
Each night,
when we sing this,
We're making an attempt to swing this,
We sing this
song a different way
That's why I say
Who knows, like Mack the
Knife,
You may play this song all your life
So Bill Bailey, won't you
come on home?

As Miss Sophie Tucker might say:
Won't you come home
Bill Bailey?
I say won't you come home?
Oh, you've been away,
Oh honey
you've been away too long.
I'll do that cooking honey, yes-ah,
You just
bring home the money.
Some of these days, Bill,
You're gonna come on
home.

As Miss Della Reese might say:
Won't you come home Bill
Bailey?
I say won't you come home?
I say you've been away... too
long.

And as Miss Pearl Bailey might say:
Bill, honey, daddy you'd
better bring it on home
Cause honey I'm just so tired of waiting on
you.
Honey these shoes, I, I'm telling your baby it can't wait no
longer.

Yes I said,
Won't you come, won't you come
Won't you come
on home, Bill Bailey?
I say you've been away too long.
Since you've been
gone there's no stopping
To this thing they call bee-bopping.
So Bailey,
please come on home.

Now everybody twist it,
I say everybody twist
it.
So Bailey please come home, no more to roam.

I've sung the lyrics
to this song so long,
I guess it's time to say so long
So Bailey, won't
you come on home?
Mama needs loving!
Bill, Bailey, won't you come
Come
home...
