HONEY, O!
Copyright. 1894, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Words and Music by Percy Gaunt.

There's the coon from Alabama, 'way down South, honey, O! honey, O!
His feet are very large and just the same his mouth, honey, O! honey, O!
He's just a trifle crazy, and, oh! he is so lazy;
But in motion he's a "daisy," honey, O! honey, O!

Chorus.
Get up, you lazy coon, go 'way from me!
Rise up, you lazy loon, I hate to see!
Honey, you rascal black, you are so slow;
Don't you ever come back, honey, O!

There's the coon who's always looking for a tip, honey, O! honey, O!
He never lets a good thing slip-e, slip-e-dip, honey, O! honey, O!
He's yaller and he's sassy, his ways are very brassy,
And he whistles "Bonnie Lassie," honey, O! honey, O!- Whistling Chorus.

There's ole Uncle Rasmus walking with a cane, honey, O! honey, O!
And just you watch him as he shuffles down the lane, honey, O! honey, O!
He is so fond of pickin' a turkey or a chicken,
He would take it for a lickin', honey, O! honey, O!-Repeat first Chorus.
