Lyrics
- Honey, dearie
Come and make my heart feel glad
Hear me, cheer me
Cause I’m feeling awfull bad
Take me, make me
Love you dear with all my life
I want to hear that loving chiming rag
Then I’ll promise that I’ll be your wife
My honey
Refrain:
Oh! keep on those bells a ringing
Honey, play “That Chiming Rag”
Oh! that chiming tune a clinging
Like a silk and satin rag
Just look down and see the people
Gazing way up at the steeple
Oh! keep on a playing hon’
That ever ringing chiming rag
- Please me, squeeze me
Oh, you make me feel so fine
Baby, play me
Something with a raggy chime
Hug me, love me
Keep on playing, hear me sigh
I could just listen to the chiming rag
Even to the day on which I die
My honey
