Honey, come and get me,

Caress me, love, and pet me,

I want to be your little turtle dove;

I'm just wild to marry

Some Tom, Dick or Harry,

'Cause I gotta have someone to love.



I'd give up all my money

If someone would call me honey,

To a good man my my heart I'd love to lose,

So don't be hesitating

And keep me here a-waiting,

Because I've got those ever-lovin' blues!



Honey, baby, please come and get me now,

I ain't got nobody at all.

What you don't know 'bout loving I will show you how,

Don't think I'm tired and sore,

I 've been praying, oh Lord, please send me a man,

One who will never change his view,

I'll tease him, squeeze him, you can bet I'll please him,

'Cause I've got those ever-lovin' blues!
