Walking My Baby Back Home - Fred Ahlert & Roy Turk

[Baxterman]

Old (humorous) standard, with a revival through James Taylor's (humorous) performance on the album "Hourglass". I particularly like the "straighten my tie"- bit!
JT plays the guitar with the capo on 2nd fret = concert key B.
Hope you like it.

Can anyone post the original version for this tune instead of James Taylor's version? I'd be extremely grateful if someone could. Thanks!

Thank you, Bob! That is wonderful! I wasn't sure that we'd get an IRP copy of this before our end of the week rehearsal, and I really was hoping for a copy of it! You are so very helpful!!
