Dm 
On one summer’s day sun was shinin’ fine 
       F 
The lady love of old Bill Balley 
                                  A7         Dm       Cdim	 F     
Was hanging clothes on   the line in her backyard 
                     F9 
And weepin hard she Married a B and O brakeman 
                                                            F 
Than took and throwed her down bellering like a prunefed calf  
                           A7         Dm 
With a big gang hanging round  
                  Cdim 
And to the crowd 
                        F        C7 
She yelled out loud  
Dm 
Won’t you come home Bill Bailey 
           F 
Won’t you come home 
                                  A7         Dm       Cdim	 F     
She moans the whole day long I’ll to the cooking 
                     F9 
Darling  I’ll pay the rent I know I’ve done you wrong 
                                                            F 
Member that rayner ever that I drove you out  
                                A7         Dm 
With nothing but a fine tooth comb 
                  Cdim 
I know I’m to Blame 
                        F        C7 
Well ain’t that a shame 
Dm 
Bill Bailey won’t you please come
