COME DOWN, MA HONEY, DO. Copyright, 1894, by T. B. Harms & Co. Words by J. H. Wagner Music by Gustave Kerker. 
Dar's a pretty little yaller gal dat I lub well, And if you will kindly listen, of my lub I'll tell; She is ole man Johnson's daughter, she's de belle oh town, And each night I go to court her when de sun goes down; And when de moon an' stars are shinin' bright, I climb de ole man's garden wall; And 'neath her window, in de middle ob de night, she always hears me softly call: 
Refrain. Oh, won't yer come down, ma honey? do! For I'm a-waitin' down here for you; All de little stare are blinking, And so merrily are winkin', An' de ole moon is a-laffin' at us, too; For wid his face all so bright an' new, He seems to say, love, to me an' you: Oh, come an' spend the happy hours 'Mid the sweetly-scented flowers; Won't yer come down, ma honey? do!-[Dance] 
My canoe is on de ribber, an' de ole banjo I will play, as both together down de stream we go To a shady little island, 'tis a fairy land; Whar' we'll see de fairies dancin' on de moonlit sand, And dar we'll sit and sing de whole night long, until de sleepy echoes wake; And lub shall be de burden ob our song, until de dawn begins to break. - Ref.
