(I say) yeah honey, I'm leavin' ya

(I say, I say) I'm gonna cut out

(I say) don't call me 'cause I'll call you

(I say, I say)

Bye! (I say)

Won't you come home, big daddy? (Won't you please go home)

Won't you come home? (I say, I say)

I cried the whole day long (won't you please go home, I say)

I'll do the cookin' daddy (won't you please go home)

I'll pay the rent (I say, I say)

I know I done you wrong (won't you please go home)

Remember that rainy evening (won't you please go home)

I threw you out (I say, I say)

With nothing but a coat (won't you please go home)

I know I'm to blame, ain't that a shame (I say, won't you please go home)

Big daddy, won't you please come home (I say, I say, won't you please go home)

You want your big daddy to come on home

That's what I heard you say

'Cause you've been crying the whole day long

Now you, you're gonna do the cooking, is that right?

And you gonna get out and pay the rent, that's a new deal

Ooh, you know you done me wrong

'Cause I remember very well the rainy evening

When you threw me out

I didn't had nothing to eat for five days

What am I gonna do with a coat?

You know you're to blame

Ain't that a shame?

Ah, I'm gonna give you another chance

Come here little mama (I say)

Won't you come home, big daddy? (Won't you please stay home)

Won't you come home? (I say, I say)

I cried the whole day long (won't you please stay home)

Don't cry, don't cry, little mama (I say)

I'll do the cookin' daddy (won't you please stay home)

Let me get out and work, and I'll pay the rent (I say, I say)

I know I done you wrong (won't you please stay home)

You know, you know, you remember (I say)

The rainy evening when you threw me out (won't you please stay home)

Confess to the people what you left me with (I say, I say)

Just a comb (won't you please stay home)

I know I'm to blame

Ain't that a shame

Big daddy, won't you please come

Big daddy, won't you please come

Big daddy, won't you please come on home!

Big daddy, won't you please come

Big daddy, won't you please come

Big daddy, won't you please come on home!

Big daddy, won't you please come on

Come on home!
