Lyrics

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 will hear me say:
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
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 will hear your mama say:
Oh, Baby, won't you please come home?
Mama needs daddy
Hey, Baby, won't you please come home?
Written by: Charles Warfield, Clarence Williams
