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



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
