[ad lib]

Why don't you come home, Bill Bailey
Why don't you come home
She cried the whole night long
I'll do the washing, honey
I'll pay the rent
Although you can't be wrong

Remember that rainy evening
You throw me out
With nothing but a fine-tooth comb
Ain't it a shame
Well I know that you're to blame
So darling I'll go never home

Why don't you come home, Bill Bailey
Why don't you come home
She cried the whole night long
I'll do the washing, honey
I'll pay the rent
Although you can't be wrong

Remember that rainy evening
You throw me out
With nothing but a fine-tooth comb
Ain't it a shame
You know that you're to blame
So darling I'll go never home

[ad lib]

Why don't you come home, Bill Bailey
Why don't you come home with me
She cried the whole night long
I'll do the washing, honey
I'll pay the rent
Although you can't be wrong

I'll pay that rainy evening
You throw me out
With nothing but a fine-tooth comb
Ain't it a shame
You never could complain
So darling I'll go never home
So darling I'll go never home
But so darling I'll go never home

So darling I'll go never home, home...
