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
