Now I say if he tries to kiss me I'll cry
Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
My powder all over his vest
After I kinda straighten my tie
She's 'fraid of the dark, so I have to park
We stop for a while, he gives me a smile
A-walkin' my baby back home
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Outside of her door till it's light
She has to borrow my comb
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Once kiss then we continue again
Walkin' my baby back home
A-lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
A-walkin' my baby, a-talkin' my baby
I dry her tears all through the night
I snuggle my head to his chest
We go 'long harmonizin' a song
A-walkin' my baby back home
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm, over meadow and farm
Or I'm recitin' a poem
