chorus:

Honey! Honey! Bless your heart,

Oh honey that I love so well,

I've done been true, my gal, to you,

My honey that I love so well.



verse:

Away down south in the land of roses

There's a honey that I love so well.

She's the sweetest bud 'mong all the posies,

Is my honey that I love so well.

I lost my heart to her one day,

And I ain't ashamed to tell,

That I've been true to her ever since,

To my honey that I love so well.
