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.
