9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

We go 'long harmonizing a song 

Or I'm recitin' 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 start in 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 

Once kiss then I continue again 

Walkin' my baby back home 

She's '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 

Photos 

Hand in hand to a barbecue stand 

Right from her doorway we roam 

Eats and then it's a pleasure again 

Walkin' my baby 

Talkin' my baby 

Lovin' my baby 

I don't mean maybe 

Walkin' my baby back home
