I've got the blues, I feel so lonely 
I'll give the world if I could only 
Make you understand 
It surely would be grand 
I'm gonna telephone my baby 
Ask him won't you please come home 
'Cause when you're gone, I'm worried all day long 
Baby won't you please come home 
Baby won't you please come home 
I have tried in vain 
Ever more to call your name 
When you left you broke my heart 
That will never make us part 
Every hour in the day 
You will hear me say 
Baby won't you please come home, I mean 
Baby won't you please come home 
Baby won't you please come home 
'Cause your mama's all alone 
I have tried in vain 
Never more to call your name 
When you left you broke my heart 
That will never make us part 
Landlord gettin' worse, I've got to move May the first 
Baby won't you please come home, I need money 
Baby won't you please come home
