Cover art for Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home? lyrics by Louis Armstrong

This song is about a guy named Bill Bailey who won't come home, his woman is so hard up for sex that she promises to do the cookin' and even pay the rent, rumor has it that Bill Bailey was pretty good in bed

Oh, I get it now...Brad "tingle." It's no wonder you wrote what you did :D

Sorry, but her moaning had nothing to do with sex. There's moaning all day due to missing her man who keeps her company. She tossed him out on his arse and says she knows she done did him wrong. I am quite sure you're aware how old this song is and that at the time it was written sex was a rather taboo subject when it came to speaking about it in public. I used to sing this all the time as a child, although 'singing' does not adequately describe what comes out of my mouth:)
