Lyrics
- I’ve got the finest man
I got the grandest man what’s in the land
Oh, there is something ’bout him
Only love can make me understand
When he calls me cutey, sweety, Oh, you kid
I feel my senses leaving and the lord forbid
‘Cause when I hear him call, I’m gone, that’s all
Yes, gone, I’m singing to him all the while
Chorus
My little lovin’ Honeyman
He sure has won my heart and hand
I’m only waiting now for him to name the day
And when he says to me, come on
What will I say?
I’ll say, come round here, hold me tight
I wouldn’t let him leave my sight
And if I thought he’d go
If I only thought he’d try to go
Then I would sigh, no! I’d cry, yes!
I’d lay me down and die, Yes, die
If I should lose my Honeyman
- He’s got the grandest heart
He’s got the biggest heart I ever knew before
He’s more than twice as nice as any other man
And then some more
When he gets along beside me, Oh, that man
He springs little tricks of love, like no one can
And when that man does kiss, I shake with bliss
I hear myself a-singing all the while
