Baby Won't You Please Come Home
Bill Coleman and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got the blues,
I feel so lonely,
I'd give the world
If I could only
Make you understand;
It truly would be grand.
I'm gonna telephone my baby,
Ask him won't you please come home.
Oh, when you gone
I'm worried all day long.

Baby, won't you please come home?
Baby, won't you please come home?
I have tried in vain
Nevermore to call your name.
When you left you broke my heart,
That will never make us part.
Every hour in the day you will hear me say,
Baby, won't you please come home?
I mean, baby, won't you please come home?

Baby, won't you please come home?
'Cause your mama's all alone.
I have tried in vain
Nevermore to call your name,
When you left you broke my heart,
That will never make us part,
Landlord's gettin' worse, I gotta move May the first.
Baby, won't you please come home?




I need money.
Baby, won't you please come home?
