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 homе by and by

Well I've seen those faraway placеs
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)
