Come, My Honey, I'se Got Money - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Come, My Honey, I'se Got Money. Copyright, 1895, by Spaulding & Gray. Words and Music by Dave Reed. Jr. 
Erastus Jones has got a gal named Mandy, De colored folks all say she is a dandy; She dresses mighty sporty, her mammy's very haughty, De colored sports think she's as sweet as candy; When 'Rastus hasn't got a heap of money, She says to him "go chase yourself, my honey!" Then Rastus has to scramble to get some coon to gamble, And if he wins he'll say: 
Chorus. Come, my honey, I'se got money; tell me that you'll be mine; You're my Lily, don't be silly, and we'll be right in line. 
Said he, "Now, Mandy, gal, you need not worry, And get yo' blessed heart all in a flurry; I'se gwine to play some poker wif a policy-shop broker, And, sure enough, I'll break him in a hurry; Next morning he came home dressed like a dandy, And showed a roll of money to his Mandy; Then 'Rastus was right in it, she grabbed him in a minute, When to his love he said:- Chorus.
