| Why don’t you call your mother more then you do?
|
| She lies awake at night and cries for you
|
| Why don’t you write a letter or maybe even better
|
| take the morning train and hit for home again
|
| Come back Billie Jo, your mama needs you
|
| She’s baked an apple pie the way she used to
|
| Come back Billie Jo, she longs to see you
|
| You could be here in no time if you choose to!
|
| You’ve always were an independent girl
|
| But you have time enough to see the world
|
| Oh, come back Billie Jo, your mama needs you
|
| and everyone knows I need you too!
|
| When you were just a child of twele and a half
|
| The game we used to play were just for a laugh
|
| As we grew up together I never dreamed you’d
|
| leave your family, your old time friends and me
|
| Come back Billie Jo, your mama needs you
|
| She’s baked an apple pie the way she used to
|
| Come back Billie Jo, she longs to see you
|
| You could be here in no time if you choose to!
|
| You’ve always were an independent girl
|
| But you have time enough to see the world
|
| Oh, come back Billie Jo, your mama needs you
|
| and everyone knows I need you too!
|
| Come back Billie Jo, your mama needs you
|
| She’s baked an apple pie the way she used to
|
| Come back Billie Jo, your mama needs you
|
| And everyone knows I need you too!
|
| And everyone knows I need you too! |
