I told you I was a gypsy, I said I had fidgety feet
When I hear that whistle, blowing on a train
Then my heart skips a beat, baby, baby
Wait for me, baby, baby, wait for me
Baby, baby, wait for me
I'll be home by and by
Well I told you I was a gambler
When I hear the roll of that dice
Then I just gotta quarter cup of pennies in the pot
And run 'em once or twice
Baby, baby, wait for me, baby, baby, wait for me
Baby, baby, wait for me
I'll be home by and by
Well I told you I was a lover, I had the ravenous sty
But if I cheat just a little-itty-bit, I'll be on by and by
Baby, baby, wait for me, baby, baby, wait for me
Baby, baby, wait for me
I'll be home by and by
Well I've seen those faraway places
I've had some love and it's true
But I'll come home like I said I would
There's no one else but you
Baby, baby, wait for me, baby, baby, wait for me
Baby, baby, wait for me
I'll be home tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
