Put your arms about me Lulu,
you my sweet thing and my Zulu,
ain't I yer honey boy, no more?
Dar is something cold about you
that's de reason why I doubts you,
ain't I yer honey boy, no more?
I tell you it's awful galling
when I hears yer mammy callin'
'cause I know it's den
you'se got to leave ma side,
den I thinks about a nigger
who with her he cuts a figger,
'cause I know he wants to win you
for his bride, Oh! No! No!

Ain't I yer honey boy?
You is my pride and joy,
remember what you told me once before,
ain't I yer real, real sweet thing?
Who's got you on the string, string,
ain't I yer honey boy, no more?

Oh, de preacher is a waitin'
dat's another thing I'se hatin'
ain't I yer honey boy, no more?
If you don't go with me honey
den I'se got to lose my money,
ain't I yer honey boy, no more?
I'se been making preparations
dun sent out de invitations
now it looks as if yer gwine to turn me down,
and you knows how dis would grieve me
if my sweet thing should deceive me
when I loves you mo' den any coon in town,
Oh! Yes! Yes!

Ain't I yer honey boy?
You is my pride and joy,
remember what you told me once before,
ain't I yer real, real sweet thing?
Who's got you on the string, string,
ain't I yer honey boy, no more?

Ain't I yer honey boy?
You is my pride and joy,
remember what you told me once before,
ain't I yer real, real sweet thing?
Who's got you on the string, string,
ain't I yer honey boy, no more?
