Lyrics Saga of Bill Bailey - Nancy Wilson

Now, you take this morning for example
I floated cornflakes in my coffee
The coffe grounds are wrapped in silk
My piggybank is full of bobbypins and milk
Today what′s right is wrong
Today what's up is down
Tomorrow could be worse
Tomorrow I may drown
Then everyone will laugh at this old clumsy clown
But listen sweet patutti,
You so and so
You went and did it to me
Why did you have to go away
Won′t you come home Bill Bailey
Won't you come home
I mourn the whole day long
Now I'll bake you cookies Billy
With chocolate chips
Now I know, I know I′ve done you wrong
Do you remember that rainy evening
They say I through you out
You left with nothing but a fine-tooth comb
So I′m to blame and I'm ashamed and so all alone
Billy. Hey Billy Baby come home
An old daddy of mine dropped dead
And so I′m collecting on his life insurance
Come on and spend that money Bill Bailey
Come on home
Now you've been away too long
A whole lot of goodies I′ll buy you
I'll buy you a home, car
Now who said, who said I′ve done you wrong
When you are on my doorstep, patutti
I'll yell who rang
Its Billy Bailech, Salome
Now who's to blame, Bill
Who′s ashame, Bill
I′m all alone
Come on, Bailey
Bailey won't you please come home
I′m looking for you
I'm praying for you
I′m cooking for you
Ah turn my flame up
Come home, Bill Bailey
Come on home
Then I'll sing, I′ll sing no more, no more sad songs
I want that man's arms around me
I want him til it hurts
Now Bailey, it wrong its wrong, its wrong its wrong
Now do you remember that raining evening
That night that you left
You stole, you stole my fine tooth come
Bailey Bailey, shame, shame
I know it is you who's to blame
But William Benjamin Bailey
You just come on home
Come home
