A Coon Serenade 1902

Softly, the shades of twilight
now are falling,
brightly the stars are shining in the sky
Bells sweetly chime, in rhythmic rhyme,
while I sing this little song to you.
Moonbeams are flooding all the land with glory,
while I am telling you the old sweet story,
that my heart from you will never part,
and that my love for you
is ever, ever true.

Oh! Oh! my little honey,
you are my sweet,
when I'm with you
my happiness is complete,
you are my only love,
true as the stars above,
and my heart is fill'd with joy divine.
There may be other girls
but they're not like you,
none have a face so fair,
or heart half so true,
I love you best of all,
Oh! honey, hear my call,
and say that you'll always love me,
baby mine.

Sometimes I'm sure my love
you try to phaze me,
try hard to throw me down,
but then you craze me,
Drive me just wild, my honey child,
don't you see, because I love you so!
Sweet lips are smiling tenderly above me,
bright eyes are telling me just how you love me,
for I know that I'm your only beau,
O sweetheart, listen
while I whisper soft and low.

Oh! Oh! my little honey,
you are my sweet,
when I'm with you
my happiness is complete,
you are my only love,
true as the stars above,
and my heart is fill'd with joy divine.
There may be other girls
but they're not like you,
none have a face so fair,
or heart half so true,
I love you best of all,
Oh! honey, hear my call,
and say that you'll always love me,
baby mine.
