Some old ships they sail, some old ships they sink Cause you got a bottle, don't mean you have to drink When you comin' home baby, when you comin' back to your girl I been on the east side waiting for your call I've been workin' corners, when I work at all When you comin' home baby, when you comin' back to your girl Cause these walls are closin in And your old coat is way too thin
Billy on the Corner, he's still taking bets But I don't like to gamble on things that I can't get When you comin' home baby, when you comin' back to your girl Now the winter's closin' in And your old coat is way too thin Banging on the ceiling, banging on the floor Waterpipes are freezin' and my key don't fit the door When you comin' home baby, when you comin' back to your girl
