Honeycomb Lyrics - Jimmie Rodgers - Jimmie Rodgers

(Honeycomb) 

(Honeycomb) 

Well it's a darn good life 

And it's kinda funny 

How the Lord made the bee 

And the bee made the honey 

And the honeybee lookin' for a home 

And they called it honeycomb 

And they roamed the world and they gathered all 

Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball 

And the honeycomb from a million trips 

Made my baby's lips 

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 

Well, Honeycomb, be my own 

What a darn good life 

When you got a wife like Honeycomb 

(Honeycomb) 

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 till 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 

Well, Honeycomb, be my own 

What a darn good life 

When you got a wife like Honeycomb 

(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 

Well, Honeycomb, be my own 

What a darn good life 

When you got a wife like Honeycomb 

(Honeycomb)
