Lyrics
- Must you really sail away my Honey Boy
Must you go, don’t you know
When your ship sails down the bay, my Honey Boy
I’ll be true my Honey Boy, to you
For I love you best of all, my Honey Boy
Don’t you sigh, time will fly
When you’re on the deep blue sea
Try and think sometimes of me
I’ll be waiting anxiously, Honey Boy
Chorus
Honey Boy I hate to see you leaving
Honey Boy you know my heart is grieving
When you are sailing, sailing o’er the sea
Honey Boy, honey Boy
And if ever you should take a notion
To come sailing home across the ocean
Honey Dear, never fear
I’ll be waiting, waiting
Waiting for you, Honey Boy
- When you come back home again Honey Boy
You can guess I’ll say yes
I’ll walk down the village lane, my Honey Boy
To the church, my Honey Boy, with you
We’ll be wed and settle down, my Honey Boy
With you dear always near
In a cottage all our own
Just for you and me alone
It will be our Home sweet Home, Honey Boy
