Listen baby, he's coming home
  Where he belongs
  So stop your weeping
  And on the high tide
  He'll be by your side
  In the bed he always
  Used to sleep in
  
  So stop your wonderin', guessin'
  Sammy J. is coming home
  It's been a long time, sad time
  Bad time living on your own
  
  For your sadness
  Will turn to gladness
  By the time you count
  One hundred and ten, girl
  Watch your baby, cook the dinner
  Listen for the bell, and then, girl
  
  All the years you've been crying
  All the time you've felt like dying
  All you really needed was to be
  Beside the one you love
