James Taylor - Walking My Ba lyrics

Gee it's great after staying out late

Walking my baby back home

Arm in arm, over meadow and farm

Walking my baby back home

We go on harmonizing a song

Or she's reciting a poem

Owls fly by and they give me the eye

Walking my baby back home

We stop for awhile

She gives me a smile

And cuddles her cheek to my chest

We start to pet and that's when I get

Her powder all over my vest

After I kind of straighten my tie

She has to borrow my comb

It's one kiss then we continue again

Walking my baby back home

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.
