he comes home this morning
Tell old Will when he comes
Tell old Bill when he comes home
To leave those downtown gals alone
This mornin', this evenin' so soon
Old Sal was bakin' bread this evening
They come and told her Bill was dead
This morning, this evening, so soon
Oh no, it can't be so this mornin'
Oh no, it can't be so this evenin'
I've been left here about an hour ago
This morning, this evening, so soon
Oh me, it just can't be this morning
Oh me, it just can't be this evening
They killed my Bill in the third degree
This morning, this evening, so soon
Carried Bill home in a hurry -up
Carried Bill home in a hurry -up wagon
Poor old Bill, how his toes was draggin'
This ev 'nin', this ev 'nin' so soon
Tell old Bill when he comes
Tell old Bill when he comes home
Tell old Bill when he comes home
