• Lyrics:
  I've got the finest man,
  I got the grandest man what's in the land.
  Oh there is something 'bout him, only love can
  Make me understand;
  When he calls me cutey, sweety, Oh, You kid,
  I fell my senses leaving and the lord forbid,
  'Cause when I hear him call,
  I'm gone, that's all, Yes, gone.
  I'm singing to him all the while:
  
  chorus:
  My little lovin' Honey-man,
  He sure has won my heart and hand,
  I'm only waiting now for him to name the day,
  And when he says to me come on what will I say?
  A'll say, come round here, hold bme tight,
  I wouldn't let him leave my sight,
  And if I thought he'd go,
  If I only thought he'd try to go,
  Then I would sigh, no! I'd cry yes!
  I'd lay me down and die, Yes! die,
  If I should lose my Honey-man.
  
  He's got the grandest heart,
  He's got the biggest heart I even knew before,
  He's more than twice as nice as any other man,
  And then some more;
  When he gets along beside me, Oh, That man,
  He springs little tricks of love, like no one can,
  And when that man does kiss,
  I shake with bliss,
  I hear myself a-singing all the while.
