The Definitive History of “Won’t You Come Home Bill Bailey”
Hughie Cannon wrote the song in 1902 when he was working as a bar pianist at Conrad Deidrich’s Saloon in Jackson, Michigan. Willard “Bill” Bailey was a regular customer and friend, and one night told Cannon about his marriage to Sarah (née Siegrist). Cannon “was inspired to rattle off a ditty about Bailey’s irregular hours. Bailey thought the song was a scream, and he brought home a dashed-off copy of the song to show Sarah. Sarah couldn’t see the humor…. [but] accepted without comment the picture it drew of her as a wife.” Cannon sold all rights to the song to a New York publisher, and died from cirrhosis aged 35. Willard and Sarah Bailey later divorced; he died in 1954, and she died in 1973.
