Lyrics for Baby, Won't You Please Come Home

I've got the blues, I feel so lonely I'll give the world if I could only Make you understand It surely would be grand I'm gonna telephone my baby Ask him won't you please come home 'Cause when you're gone I'm worried all day long Baby won't you please come home Baby won't you please come home I have tried in vain Evermore to call your name When you left you broke my heart That will never make us part Every hour in tthe day You will hear me say Baby won't you please come home, I mean Baby won't you please come home Baby won't you please come home 'Cause your mama's all alone I have tried in vain Nevermore to call your name When you left you broke my heart That will never make us part Landlord gettin' worse I've got to move May the first Baby won't you please come home, I need money Baby won't you please come home
