Honey Chile

                                  You're shiftless and you're lazy

Just like the hound dog, Daisy 

I had when grandma raised me

Honey chile, poor Granny 

Got too old to scorn me

Dear old auntie warned me 

You sure was no good for me

Honey chile, but your kiss 

Is sweeter than the cake

That grandma used to make

Oh them sweet little things about ya 

Sure enough takes the cake

You ain't gonna amount to nothing

'Cause you ain't gonna work for nothing

Without you, I'm good for nothing

Honey chile, honey chile

Sure 'bout to drive me wild

And I love you so 

Can't let go 

Now honey chile oh sugar chile

I'd walk a country mile 

Just to be with you 

And to stay with you, now honey chile



I try to act like a lady 

But you've been courtin' Sadie

Your reputation's shady 

Honey chile, hey you even took out Sally

Who lives across the alley 

Oh I've been keeping tally 

Honey chile you're like the grapes

Upon the vine at winning pretty wine

'Cause like that home made wine so sweet

You sure enough drove me out of my mind now

You ain't nothing but a playboy 

Using me for a play toy 

You're ruining my pride and joy 

Now honey chile, honey chile

Sure 'bout to drive me wild

And I love you so, can't let go 

Now honey, ,oh sugar chile

I'd walk a country mile 

Just to be with you 

And to stay with you, now honey chile



One day I'm gonna get stronger

And I won't need you no longer

This feeling will be a goner

Honey chile, hey now I can't take disgracin'

That ain't the way granny raised me

You're gonna just hurt like crazy 

Honey chile, sugar chile

I'd walk a country mile 

Just to be with you 

And to stay with you, honey chile

Hey honey chile sure 'bout to drive me wild
