Baby, won’t you please come home
You know you left; your daddy’s all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left, it broke your daddy’s heart
That will never make us part
For every hour of the day
You can hear me say
«Baby, won’t you please come home!
Daddy needs Mama!
Baby, won’t you hurry home!»
Baby, won’t you please come on home, home
You know you left your daddy all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left, it broke your daddy’s heart, heart
That will never make us part
Never to make us part
For every hour in the day
You can hear your daddy say
«Ah, baby, won’t you please come on home!
Daddy needs Mama!
Baby, won’t you please come home!»
Beautiful. The high spot for me is the lovely trombone solo by Ed Cuffee.
George Thomas,the vocalist was central to the band but sadly died in a motor accident in about 1930.
