Lyrics
- My little honey
I must be leaving
Be bright and sunny
Now don’t be grieving;
Just dry your tears, dear
It’s not for years, dear
I’ll soon return to you
Chorus
Kiss me, my honey, kiss me
And say you’ll miss me as I’ll miss you
Love me, my honey, love me
Like stars above me, say you’ll be true
While away ev’ry day
I’ll be thinking of you
Dearie, now don’t grow weary
Be bright and cheery, my honey do
So dear, before I go, dear
Come here and kiss me (kiss, kiss)
Honey, I love you
- That same old moon, dear
That shines above us
Will see us soon, dear
As happy lovers
So don’t you worry
For I will hurry
Right back and marry you
