Marty Robbins - Honeycomb lyrics

rate me

Well, Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own<br />

He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone<br />

And made a walkin', talkin' Honeycomb<br />

Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own<br />

What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb.<br />

<br />

Well, it's a darn good life but it's kinda funny<br />

How the Lord made the bee, the bee made the honey<br />

The honeybee lookin' for a home<br />

And they called it a honeycomb<br />

And he roamed the world and he gathered all<br />

Of the honey into one sweet ball<br />

The honeycomb from a million trips<br />

Made my baby's lips.<br />

<br />

Oh, Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own<br />

He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone<br />

And made a walkin', talkin' Honeycomb<br />

Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own<br />

What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb.<br />

<br />

And the Lord said "Now that I made a bee<br />

I'm gonna look all around for a green, green tree."<br />

He made a little tree and I guess ya heard<br />

What then, well, he made a little bird<br />

And he waited all around till the end of spring<br />

A-gettin' every note that the birdies sing<br />

He put 'em all into one sweet tone for my Honeycomb.<br />

<br />

Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own<br />

He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone<br />

And made a walkin', talkin' Honeycomb<br />

Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own<br />

What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb.<br />

<br />

And the Lord said "Now that I made a bird<br />

I'm gonna look all around for a little old word<br />

Sounds about sweet like a turtle dove<br />

And I guess I'm gonna call it love."<br />

And He roamed the world lookin' everywhere<br />

Gettin' love from here, love from there<br />

Put it all in a little old part of my baby's heart.<br />

<br />

Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own<br />

He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone<br />

And made a walkin', talkin' Honeycomb<br />

Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own<br />

What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb<br />

What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb.<br />

(Honeycomb be my own...)
