Well I wish I was your sweet little honey man,
   Just a hanging 'round the rising sun,
   You know you can't hold out against a boy who's
   A whiskey fast and a honey slow;
   I wish I was, I wish I was your,
   I wish I was your honey man,
   I wish I was your, sweet little honey man;
   And when the bee's inside the hive,
   You gonna holler in the thick of love,
   I'll buy you all the jag I can,
   This honey man's gonna' sting you again;
  
   A when I come a home to you honey,
   Oh, your little eyes never flicker,
   I wished I was that cool,
   And then your love just a wouldn't matter at all
