Song information

Artist: James Taylor

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
