walking my baby back home

Gee, it’s great after bein’ out late 
Walkin’ my baby back home 
Arm in arm over meadow and farm 
Walkin’ my baby back home

 We go ’long harmonizing a song 
Or I’m recitin’ a poem
 Owls go by and they give me the eye
 Walkin’ my baby back home 

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile 
And snuggles her head on my chest 
We start in to pet and that’s when I get 
Her talcum all over my vest 

After I kinda straighten my tie 
She has to borrow my comb 
Once kiss then I continue again 
Walkin’ my baby back home

 <Instrumental interlude> 

She’s ’fraid of the dark so I have to park 
Outside of her door till it’s light 
She says if I try to kiss her she’ll cry 
I dry her tears all through the night 

Hand in hand to a barbecue stand 
Right from her doorway we roam 
Eats and then it’s a pleasure again 
Walkin’ my baby 
Talkin’ my baby 
Lovin’ my baby 

I don’t mean maybe 
Walkin’ my baby back home
