Lyrics
1. Honey, the moon am a-shinin’
Hear that old whippoorwill
Honey, my heart am a-pinin’
Just ’cause it can’t keep still
Everyone must love someone
That is why I’m waitin’, hon’
Every night, when day is done
Waiting’ to sing to you
Chorus:
How de do Miss Mandy?
You look fine and dandy
Sweet as ‘lasses candy, and you always did
Oh, oh, oh, you kid
It’s just none o’clock, dear
‘Spose we take a walk, dear
Have a little talk, dear
Mandy, how do you do?
2. Honey, don’t keep me a-guessin’
Just you have got me right
You know it’s mighty distressin’
Won’t you say “yes” tonight
Come and live, and be content
In my heart and pay no rent
Just like music heaven sent
When your sweet voice I hear
