In a small town in North Carolina,
Lived a man who loved his wife.
They were happy as could be,
But then one day, she took her life.
(Chorus)
Bill Bailey, you please come home,
Your wife and children miss you so.
Bill Bailey, you please come home,
We need you now, more than ever before.
(Verse 2)
Bill Bailey was devastated,
He didn't know what to do.
He just sat in his house and cried,
And waited for her to come back through.
(Chorus)
Bill Bailey, you please come home,
Your wife and children miss you so.
Bill Bailey, you please come home,
We need you now, more than ever before.
(Bridge)
But one day, Bill Bailey decided,
That he had to go on.
He packed his bags and left town,
And started a new life on his own.
(Chorus)
Bill Bailey, you please come home,
Your wife and children miss you so.
Bill Bailey, you please come home,
We need you now, more than ever before.
(Outro)
But Bill Bailey never did come back home,
He stayed away for the rest of his life.
But he never forgot his wife,
And he always loved her in his heart.
