And the Lord said now that I made a bee
I’m gonna look all around for a green, green tree
And He made a little tree and I guess you heard
Oh, then well he made a little bird
And they waited all around until the end of Spring
Gettin’ every note that the birdie’d sing
And they put ‘em all into one sweet tome
For my Honeycomb

Oh, Honeycomb, won’t you be my baby
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
Got a hank o’ hair and a piece o’ bone
And made a walkin’ talkin’ Honeycomb
Well, Honeycomb, won’t you be my baby

When you got a wife like Honeycomb

And the Lord says now that I made a bird
I’m gonna look all round for a little ol’ word
That sounds about sweet like “turtledove”
And I guess I’m gonna call it “love”
And He roamed the world lookin’ everywhere
Gettin’ love from here, love from there
And He put it all in a little ol’ part
Of my baby’s heart

Oh, Honeycomb, won’t you be my baby
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
Got a hank o’ hair and a piece o’ bone
And made a walkin’ talkin’ Honeycomb
Well, Honeycomb, won’t you be my baby

She was a work-ing girl

-6 -7 6 -6 4
North of Eng-land way

-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 6
Now she’s in the big time

-6 -7 6 -6 -5
In the U. S. A.

-6 6 -5 5 -4 5 -5 -6
And if she could on-ly hear me

6 -5 5 -4 4
This is what I’d say.

-6 7 -5 7 -8 -9 -8 7 -6-5 -6
Hon-ey pie you are mak-ing me cra- zy

6 -6 -8 -6 6 -5-4 -5
I’m in love but I’m la – zy

4 -6 -7 7 -6 6 -5
So won’t you please come- home.

7 -6 7 -5 7 -8 -9 -8 7 -6-5 -6
Oh hon-ey pie my po-si-tion is trag- ic

6 -6 -8 -6 6 -5-4 -5
Come and show me the mag- ic

6 -6 7 -6 6 -5
of your Hol-ly-wood song.

-8 -9 -8 7 -6 6 -5 6 -6 -5 7
You be-came a leg-end of the sil-ver screen

-5 -7 7 -8 7 -8 8 -8
And now the thought of meet-ing you

-8 7 -8 8 -8 6 7 7 7
Makes me weak in the knee.T-T-Tee

Oh hon-ey pie you are driv-ing me fran- tic

6 -6 -8 -6 6 -5-4 -5
Sail a-cross the At-lan- tic

6 -6 7 -6 6 -5
To be where you be-long.

-8 -9 -8 7 -6 6 -5
Will the wind that blew her boat

6 -6 -5 7
A-cross the sea

-8 7 -8 -8 -8 7 -8 -8 6
Kind-ly send her sail-ing back to me.

-6 7 -5 7 -8 -9 -8 7 -6-5 -6
Hon-ey pie you are mak-ing me cra – zy

So won’t you please come- home.

-9 -9 -9 -8 7 6-6 -5
Hon-ey pie come back to – me

-9 7 -6
ooh – –

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
She wrecked the car and she was sad,

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And so afraid that I’d be mad,

5 -4 5 -5
But what the heck.

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Though I pretended hard to be,

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Guess you could say she saw through me,

-4 4 -4 5
And hugged my neck.

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
I came home unexpectedly,

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And found her cryin’ needlessly,

5 5 -4 -4 5 5 -5
In the middle of the day.

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 -5
And it was in the early Spring,

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
When flowers bloom and robins sing,

-4 4 -4 5
She went away.

4 4 -4 5 5 -4
And honey, I miss you,

-3 -3 4 -4 4
And I’m bein’ good,

4 4 4 -4 5 5 -4
And I’d love to be with you,

-3 -3 4 -4 4
If only I could.

6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
One day while I was not at home,

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
While she was there and all alone,

5 -4 5 -5
The angels came.

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Now all I have are memories,

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Of Honey And I wake up nights,

-4 4 -4 5
And call her name.

6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
Now my life’s an empty stage,

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
Where Honey lived and Honey played,

5 -4 5 -5
And love grew up.

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 -5
A small cloud passes overhead,

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
And cries down on the flower bed,

-4 4 -4 5
That Honey loved.

FADE OUT
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And see the tree how big it’s grown,
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
But friend it hasn’t been too long,
5 -4 5 -5
It wasn’t big.
-5 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
I laughed at her and she got mad,
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
The first day that she planted it,
-4 4 -4 5
Was just a twig.

6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
See the tree, how big it’s grown,

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
But friend it hasn’t been too long,

5 -4 5 -5
It wasn’t big.

-5 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
I- laughed at her and she got mad,

-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
The first day that she planted it,

-4 4 -4 5
Was just a- twig.

6 5 6 5 -6
Then the first snow came,

6 6 5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And she ran out to brush the snow a-way

5 5 -4 5 -5
So it wouldn’t die.

-4 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -4
Came runnin’ in all ex-cited,

-5 -4 -5 -4 -6 -5 5
Slipped and al-most hurt herself.

-4 4 4 -4 5
I- laughed till I- cried.

6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
She was always young at heart,

6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
Kinda dumb and kinda smart,

5 5 -4 5 -5
And I loved her so.

-5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5 -4
I- surprised her with a- puppy,

-5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Kept me up all Christmas Eve,

-4 4 – 4 5
Two years a-go.

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And it would sure embarrass her,

5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
When I came in from workin’ late,

5 -4 5 -5
‘Cause I- would know,

-4 -5 -5 -5 -4 6 -5 5 -4
That she’d been sittin’ there and cryin’,

-5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5 -4
O–ver some old sad and silly,

4 -4 5
Late, late show.

4 4 -4 5 5 -4
And honey, I miss you,

-3 -3 4 -4 4
And I’m bein’ good,

4 4 4 -4 5 5 -4
And I’d love to be with you,

-3 -3 4 -4 4
If on-ly I- could.

7 -6

7 -6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5
sail on my little honey bee, sail on
7 -6
Sail on,

I don’t mind you sail-ing–,
3 -9 -8 -4 6 -5 -4 -4
but please– don’t sail so long

-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
All right little honey bee

-4 7 -6 7 -6 6 -6
I- hear a lot of buzzing,
7 6 6 6 6 6 -5 -4 -4
sounds like my little honey bee
-4 7 -6 7 -6 6 -6
I- hear a lot of buzzing,
7 6 6 6 6 6 -5 -4 -4
sounds like my little honey bee
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -3″
She been all around the world making honey
-4 -5 -5 -4 -5 -5 6 6 -5 -4 -4 -4
But now she is coming back home— to me
