Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
