"Bill Bailey wont you please come home" (U18.1282)
'Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home' is a popular song published in 1902. Its words and music were written by Hughie Cannon (1877 - 1912), an American songwriter and pianist. The woman in the song has thrown out her abusive husband, and now is calling him back:
"Won't you come home Bill Bailey, won't you come home?
She moans the whole day long.
I'll do the cooking darling, I'll pay the rent;
I knows I've done you wrong..."
