Lyrics for Song: Baby Please Don't Leave Home No More (1929)
Lyrics for Album: Complete Recorded Works 1925-32, Vol. 5-(1929-30) [1991]
I been lonesome all day, I been grievin' all night long.
I been lonesome all day, and grievin' all night long.
Baby, please hear my plea. Why don't you come back home?
You know I'll let you have your way, but the good book say we all must pay.
But I love you, baby please don't stay away.
I love you baby, and please don't stay away.
I get drunk from night until morn', I miss you so since you've been gone.
I get drunk from night until morn', I miss you so since you've been gone.
Baby, listen to my pleas, baby will you please come home?
You left me all out doors, I had respect for you.
When you left me, baby I had respect for you.
Baby, please come back home, I'll love you no matter what you do.
How many times have I cried all night long?
How many times have I cried all night long?
You know I must love you baby, when I beg you to come back home.
I'll get a job in the coal yard, work in the rain and snow.
I'll get a job in the coal yard, workin' in the rain and snow.
All I ask you baby, is please don't leave me no more.
