I Want to Walk You Home
Fats Domino Lyrics

I love to hear you talk
I'm not tryin' to be smart, I'm not tryin' to break your heart
But if I ask you for a date, will you tell me that I'm not too late

I want to hold your hand
Please let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Please let me hold your hand
You look so good to me, oo-ooee

I saw you walking all alone, that's why I want to walk you home

So let me walk you home
Please let me walk you home
I want to walk you home
Please let me walk you home
You look so good to me, oh-ooh-ee
I saw you walking all alone, that's why I want to walk you home
That's why I want to walk you home, that's why I want to walk you home
That's why I want to walk you home

Antoine Dominique "Fats" Domino (born February 26, 1928 in New Orleans, Louisiana, died October 24, 2017), was a classic R&B and rock and roll singer, songwriter and pianist. He was the best-selling African-American singer of the 1950s and early 1960s whose congenial, non threatening personality allowed him to succeed despite a period of deep-seated racial segregation. Domino is also a pianist with an individualistic bluesy style showing stride and boogie-woogie influences. Read Full BioAntoine Dominique "Fats" Domino (born February 26, 1928 in New Orleans, Louisiana, died October 24, 2017), was a classic R&B and rock and roll singer, songwriter and pianist. He was the best-selling African-American singer of the 1950s and early 1960s whose congenial, non threatening personality allowed him to succeed despite a period of deep-seated racial segregation. Domino is also a pianist with an individualistic bluesy style showing stride and boogie-woogie influences.

In 1986, he was among the first batch to get inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. "Ain't That A Shame" and "Blueberry Hill" were named part of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock & Roll. In 2004, "Blueberry Hill" was named #81 and "Ain't That A Shame" was named #431 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs Of All Time. In 2004, he was named #25 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time.

In the wake of Domino's rescue from his 9th ward home during 2005's Hurricane Katrina, the Tipitina's Foundation organized a tribute album to the elder artist featuring Robert Plant, Norah Jones, Paul McCartney and numerous other acts that owe a creative debt to this seminal rock n roll pianist.

I want to walk you home
Please let me walk you home
I wants to walk you home
Please let me walk you home
You look so good to me, oh-ooh-ee
I wish I was the lucky guy who could walk you right on down the aisle

I love the way you walk
I love to hear you talk
I love the way you walk
I love to hear you talk
I'm not tryin' to be smart, I'm not tryin' to break your heart
But if I ask you for a date, will you tell me that I'm not too late

I want to hold your hand
Please let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Please let me hold your hand
You look so good to me, oo-ooee
I saw you walking all alone, that's why I want to walk you home

So let me walk you home
Please let me walk you home
I want to walk you home
Please let me walk you home
You look so good to me, oh-ooh-ee
I saw you walking all alone, that's why I want to walk you home
That's why I want to walk you home, that's why I want to walk you home
That's why I want to walk you home

Either Fats or Mahalia will be playing at my funeral and with any luck, both of them, along with Elvis's How Great Thou Art. I saw footage of Elvis telling Fats that both he and Fats knew that Fats was the real King of Rock and Roll! Fats was the first musician my father, Murray Godwin, ever introduced me to and Dad's profound love and respect for Mahalia has me, today, asking God to please let me sing with her, them in Heaven when He's done with me. Both parents loved them and bought me my own Elvis album when I was 8 years old.The first time I heard Fats singing this as a adult with adult children desperately lost the 'Only good I AM' told me Fat's I want to Walk you Home was to be my rallying cry to lead them Home to His Kingdom! Love the ever living, ever loving Lord of Light, the Son, Jesus of Nazareth!

One of my dad's favorite songs just as Rock and Roll was coming to be like in 1956 or 57. He bought the 78rpm version since 45's were still somewhat new and our phonograph only played 78 and 33 1/3 rpm My dad would now be 103. Rest in Peace Fats Domino you brought a lot of joy to our house. Posted 10/25/17

My main guy, Elvis, said "If anyone's the King of RnR then it's Fats"...you'll get no argument from me....He was the first to have a major hit with The Fat Man in 1949...if he'd released it in 56 we'd all have accepted it as a RnR record....plus the man was a joy...I only have think of him and I smile....Love him.

“Fats Domino came to the plains of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming when we were making Any Which Way You Can. He started playing one of his songs, "I Want to Walk You Home," on a grand piano. All of a sudden everyone stopped and looked over the side of the hill and there were about ten elk. They were all standing there with their heads tilted to where the sounds were coming from — as soon as Fats stopped playing, they left. They were fascinated. Everybody likes the blues” ~ Clint Eastwood
