Baby won't you please come home
G7
'Cause your mama's all alone
C7     A7       Dm
I have tried in vain
     G7                C7
Ever more to call your name
 
F                 A7       D7
When you left you broke my heart

That will never make us part

Every hour of the day, you can hear me say

Baby won't you please come home

G7
'Cause your mama's all alone

I have tried in vain
     G7                C7
Ever more to call your name
 
F                 A7       D7
When you left you broke my heart

That will never make us part
