With his soft, baritone voice, Cole became an icon recording much mainstream, pop orientated material.

LYRICS

Gee, it's great after bein' out late, Walkin' my baby back home. Arm in arm over meadow and farm, Walkin' my baby back home. We go 'long harmonizing a song, Or I'm reciting a poem Owls go by and they give me the eye Walkin' my baby back home. We stop for a while, she gives me a smile And snuggles her head on my chest. We startin' to pet And that's when I get Her talcum all over my vest. After I kinda straighten my tie, She has to borrow my comb. One kiss, then I continue again Walkin' my baby back home. She 'fraid of the dark, so I have to park Outside of her door till it's light She says if I try To kiss her, she'll cry I dry her tears all through the night. Hand in hand to a barbeque stand, Right from her doorway we roam, Eats, and then it's a pleasure again Walkin' my baby, a-talkin' my baby, Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe Walkin' my baby... Back home.
