Baby Won't You Please Come Home
Harry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Sun was shinin' fine,
The lady love of old Bill Bailey
Was hangin' clothes on the line
In her back yard,
And weepin' hard.
She married a B&O brakeman
Bellerin' like a prune-fed calf
With a big gang hanging round
And to that crowd,
She hollered loud
[Chorus:]
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey
Won't you come home?
She moans the whole day long.
I'll do the cookin', darling
I'll pay the rent,
I know I've done you wrong;
'member that rainy eve that
I threw you out,
With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?
I know I'm to blame,
Well, ain't that a shame
Bill Bailey won't you please come home.
Bill drove by that door
In an automobile,
A great big diamond, coach and footman
Hear that lady squeal.
He's all alone
I heard her groan.
She hollered through the door
Bill Bailey, is you sore?
Stop a minute, listen to me
Won't I see you no more?
Bill winks his eye
As he heard her cry
[Chorus]
The song "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" is a classic blues song composed by Charles Warfield and Clarence Williams in 1919. The song has been recorded by various artists, but Harry Connick Jr.'s version brings a refreshing swing interpretation to the song. The lyrics describe the story of a woman pleading with her husband, Bill Bailey, to come back home after he left her. She regrets her behavior and assures him that she will do everything to bring him back home.
The first verse of the song paints a sad picture of the woman crying while doing the laundry in her backyard. Her husband, a B&O (Baltimore and Ohio Railroad) brakeman, had thrown her down and left her alone. The chorus sets the tone of the song, where she repeatedly asks her husband to come home as she misses him terribly. In the second verse, it is revealed that Bill has now acquired a lot of wealth and fame. He drives by her door with an automobile, a great big diamond, a coach, and a footman. Despite this, she still wants him back and pleads with him to listen to her.
One can interpret that the song is not pleased with the idea of material wealth over emotional satisfaction. The woman realizes that she has done wrong by throwing Bill out, and now that he enjoys success, she regrets her actions even more. Moreover, it shows that love and emotions are timeless and reach far beyond materialistic needs. Connick Jr.'s rendition of the timeless classic is a beautiful composition that seamlessly blends swing jazz with blues and creates a harmonious experience.
