Lyrics
Gee, it's great after being out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin' my baby back home
We go along harmonizing a song
Or I'm reciting a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin' my baby back home
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head on my chest
We started to pet and that's when I get
Her talcum all over my vest
After I kind of straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
One kiss then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back home
She' 'fraid of the dark, so I had to park
Outside of her door 'til its light
She's says if I try to kiss her she'll cry
I dry her tears all through the night
Hand in hand to a barbeque stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
Walkin' my baby, talking my baby
Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby back home
