Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home…
(1902)
“ Bill Bailey, won't you please come home? Bill drove by dat door, In an automobile, A great big diamond, coach and footman, hear dat big wench squeal: "He's all alone," I heard her groan; She hollered thro' that door, "Bill Bailey, is you sore? Stop a minute; won't you listen to me? Won't I see you no more?" Bill winked his eye, As he heard her cry: Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home? She moans de whole day long ”
