Lyrics
Honey, my heart’s been a-pining for you
I’ve been a-longing in vain
Honey, the moon’s been a-shining for you
Down in lover’s lane
Honey, the bees and the flow’rs and the trees
All seem to feel sad and blue
Night time and day time and June-time and May-time
I’m sighing and sighing for you
Chorus
My little ever lovin’ sugar babe
Come on, be nice to me
You’re just as sweet as ‘lasses candy or the
Honey from the little honey bee, My baby
The summer’s coming, bright and sunny time
The bees are humming for you, honey mine
I’m so lonely, hon, be my only one
My little sugar, just as sweet as sugar
Be my little lovin’ sugar babe
- Honey, the wedding bell’s soon going to chime
Put on your new wedding gown
Let your big lovin’ eyes look into mine
Parson’s here in town
What makes the whippoorwill song seem so sweet?
Maybe it’s love in the spring
Moon-time and noon time will always be spoon-time
As soon as those wedding bells ring
