Select language to translate this lyric
Some old ships they sail, some old ships they sink
Cause you got a bottle, donât mean you have to drink
When you cominâ home baby, when you cominâ back to your girl?
I been on the east side waiting for your call
Iâve been workinâ corners, when I work at all
When you cominâ home baby, when you cominâ back to your girl?
Cause these walls are closin in
And your old coat is way too thin
Billy on the Corner, heâs still taking bets
But I donât like to gamble on things that I canât get
When you cominâ home baby, when you cominâ back to your girl?
Now the winterâs closinâ in
And your old coat is way too thin
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the floor
Waterpipes are freezinâ and my key donât fit the door
When you cominâ home baby, when you cominâ back to your girl
