[Spoken]
I got the blues and I'm lonely, and I'd give the world if
If I could only make you understand that I need you
[Verse 1]
Oh Baby, won't you please come home
'Cause your mama's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day
You can hear me say-ay-ay-ay
Baby, won't you please come home, come home
------ Instrumental Break ------
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna telegraph you, baby, and I'm gonna ask you
Won't you please come home
'Cause you know when you're gone I feel
So lonely and I need you
[Verse 3]
Baby, baby, come on home
Oh your little mama
Your little mama is all alone
Mmm, I have tried in vain
I have tried and tried and tried not to call your name
[Final]
Yes, you know when you left
When you left you broke my little heart
Oh because, because I never thought
I never thought we'd part
Every hour of the day...
Awwww, you're gonna hear me say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Oh baby, yeah, baby
You better listen to me, baby
Now on baby, oh my baby, baby, baby
Won't you please come home...
I got the blues and I'm lonely, and I'd give the world if
If I could only make you understand that I need you
[Verse 1]
Oh Baby, won't you please come home
'Cause your mama's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day
You can hear me say-ay-ay-ay
Baby, won't you please come home, come home
------ Instrumental Break ------
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna telegraph you, baby, and I'm gonna ask you
Won't you please come home
'Cause you know when you're gone I feel
So lonely and I need you
[Verse 3]
Baby, baby, come on home
Oh your little mama
Your little mama is all alone
Mmm, I have tried in vain
I have tried and tried and tried not to call your name
[Final]
Yes, you know when you left
When you left you broke my little heart
Oh because, because I never thought
I never thought we'd part
Every hour of the day...
Awwww, you're gonna hear me say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Oh baby, yeah, baby
You better listen to me, baby
Now on baby, oh my baby, baby, baby
Won't you please come home...
