chorus:
Honey! Honey! Bless your heart,
Oh honey that I love so well,
I've done been true, my gal, to you,
My honey that I love so well
verse:
Away down south in the land of roses
There's a honey that I love so well
She's the sweetest bud 'mong all the posies,
Is my honey that I love so well
I lost my heart to her one day,
And I ain't ashamed to tell,
That I've been true to her ever since,
To my honey that I love so well
