Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My little honey, I must be leaving,
Be bright and sunny, now don’t be grieving;
Just dry your tears, dear, it’s not for years, dear,
I’ll soon return to you.

[Chorus]
Kiss me, my honey, kiss me,
And say you’ll miss me as I’ll miss you;
Love me, my honey, love me,
Like stars above me, say you’ll be true while away ev’ry day, I’ll be thinking of you,

[Verse 2]
That same old moon, dear, that shines above us,
Will see us soon, dear, as happy lovers,
So don’t you worry, for I will hurry,
Right back and marry you.

[Chorus]

Dearie, now don’t grow weary, be bright and cheery, my honey do,

So dear, before I go, dear, come here and kiss me (kiss, kiss)

Honey, I love you.

[Chorus]
