Honey Do, you know how I love you
Honey, do you take a shine to me?
Well, I’m tickled pink just to think
That you might love me, too
There ain’t none as sweet as you, Honey Do
In the Orchard long ago, Adam cornered Eve
She pretended not to know
Just what was up his sleeve
She offered him an apple,
And he promised her the sky
They had wild oats to sow,
And so do you and I
Honey Do, you know how I love you
Honey, do you take a shine to me?
Well, I’m tickled pink just to think
That you might love me, too
There ain’t none as sweet as you, Honey Do
Your Daddy, he don’t like me none,
That ain’t hard to see
Every time he loads his gun,
He always grins at me
I see him lift that safety latch
And that just gives me chills
And like a rabbit in the melon patch,
I scatter for the hills
Honey Do, you know how I love you
Honey, do you take a shine to me?
Well, I ain’t never took a wife,
I been lookin’ half my life
For one as sweet as you, Honey Do
In your kitchen late last night,
We couldn’t make a sound
But no one’s gonna hear us here,
So lay that blanket down
Press your cherry lips to mine
And let your mind run free
Take a few more sips o’ wine
And leave the rest to me
Honey Do, you know how I love you
Honey, do you take a shine to me?
Well, I’m tickled pink just to think
That you might love me, too
There ain’t none as sweet as you, Honey Do, hoo!
None as sweet as you, Honey Do
