Walking My Baby Back Home (Nat "King" Cole)

WALKING MY BABY BACK HOME

6     6   6     -6   6  -6 -7  7   -7  -6  
Gee, but it’s great af-ter be-in’ out late
-7    7  -7 -6  6  -6   5
Walk-in’ my ba-by back home
-4  -4  5  -4  5  -5  6   5   -4
Arm in arm ov-er mea-dow and farm
-5    6   5 -4  4  -4    4
Walk-in’ my ba-by back home

We go along harmonizing a song
Or I’m recitin’ a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin my baby back home

7   -7   6 -6  -7     -6   6    5-5   6
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
-7   -6   -5   6   -6  6  -5  5
And snug-gles her head on my chest
7    -7  6  -6  -7  -6   6     5  -5  6
We start in to pet and that’s when I get
-6  -6   -7  7  -8 -7 -6   6  
Her tal-cum all ov-er my vest

After I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
Once kiss then I continue again
Walkin my baby back home

Shes fraid of the dark so I have to park
Outside of her door till its light
She says if I try to kiss her shell cry
I dry her tears all through the night

Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then its a pleasure again
Walkin my baby
6    -6  6  -5  5   -5  6  -5 5  -4
Talk-in’ my ba-by, Lov-in’ my ba-by
-6 -6    -5   5  -4
I don’t mean may-be
7    -6  -5 5  6   -6   7
Walk-in’ my ba-by back home.
