Lyrics
1. Honey, do you love me dearly?
Honey, tell me, tell me, do
For I love you so sincerely
With a heart that’s fond and true
And for worlds I wouldn’t lose you
I’m as happy as a king
Nothing, dear, could I refuse you
It’s no wonder that I sing
Chorus:
Love me when the moon is beaming
Love me when the stars are dreaming
In the morning, in the night
Love me, honey, love me right
In the Springtime, in the Summer
In the Winter, in the Fall
Love me, honey, honey love me
Any old time at all
2. When away from you I’m lonely
Very lonely, honey dear
Then I wish that you were only
Only, only, only near
Dimpled cheeks and teeth so pearly
Worth your weight and more in gold
You’re the only girly, girly
That I really ever told
