My Honey Lou

When the sun sets in the west my Honey Lou
Then’s the time I love you best my Honey Lou
Come and look into my eyes
When the moon shines in the skies
I’ll be in paradise my Honey Lou

   Last night I waited long my Honey Lou
   And told the birds my song my Honey Lou
   When the bright and silver moon
   Sheds its soft and mellow light
   I’ll love you more each night my Honey Lou

When the birds have hushed their song my honey Lou
All the twilight shadows on my Honey Lou
My heart forever beats
For my honey gal so sweet
I’ll lay it at your feet my Honey Lou
