Walking My Baby Back Home
6 6 6 -6
Gee, but it's great
6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6
after being out late,
-7 7 -7 -6 6 -6 5
walking my baby back home.
-4 -4 5 -45 -5 6 5 -4
Arm-in-arm over meadow and farm,
-5 6 5 -4 4 -4 4
walking my baby back home.
verse 2
We go along harmonizing a song
or I'm reciting a poem.
Owls go by and they give me the eye,
walking my baby back home.
Refrain:
7 -7 6 -6 -7
We stop for awhile,
-6 6 5 -5 6
she gives me a smile,
-7 -6 -5 6 -6 6 -5 5
and snuggles her head on my chest.
7 -7 6 -6 -7 -6 6 5
We start in to pet and that's when
-5 6 -6 -6 -7 7 -8-7 -6 6
I get her talcum all over my vest.
verse 3
She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park
outside her door til it's light.
She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry
I dry her tears all thu the
night.
verse 4
Hand-in-hand to a bar-b-que stand
right from her doorway we ran.
Eats and then it's a pleasure again,
walking my baby
6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4
Talking my baby; loving my baby;
-6 -6 -5 5 -4
I don't mean maybe;
7 -6 -5 5 6 -6 7
Walking my baby back home.

Nat Cole's version of this is the classic,
but most male pop singers have a
version of it, released in 1952.
