Honey dear,
now don't be sighing,
Honey dear,
now don't be blue,
Honey dear,
now don't be crying,
Honey, I'll be true,
though today I sail away, dear,
though 'tis hard for me to part,
Promise me before I leave you,
Say you'll keep a cheery heart.

Honey dear,
come say you'll not be sighing,
Honey dear,
just say that you'll be true.
I'll be thinking when I'm on the ocean,
I'll be dreaming
Honey dear, of you,
and while I'm sailing o'er the waters,
Sweetheart, never have a fear,
don't you ever fret or worry,
I'll return to you Honey dear.

Honey dear,
come say you'll not be sighing,
Honey dear,
just say that you'll be true.
I'll be thinking when I'm on the ocean,
I'll be dreaming
Honey dear, of you,
and while I'm sailing o'er the waters,
Sweetheart, never have a fear,
don't you ever fret or worry,
I'll return to you Honey dear.

Honey dear,
soon I'll be sailing,
sailing home again to thee,
Honey dear,
say you'll be waiting,
waiting here for me,
song birds then will soon be singing,
that's the time we'll happy be,
wedding bells will then be ringing
Honey dear for you and me.

Honey dear,
come say you'll not be sighing,
Honey dear,
just say that you'll be true.
I'll be thinking when I'm on the ocean,
I'll be dreaming
Honey dear, of you,
and while I'm sailing o'er the waters,
Sweetheart, never have a fear,
don't you ever fret or worry,
I'll return to you Honey dear.

Honey dear,
come say you'll not be sighing,
Honey dear,
just say that you'll be true.
I'll be thinking when I'm on the ocean,
I'll be dreaming
Honey dear, of you,
and while I'm sailing o'er the waters,
Sweetheart, never have a fear,
don't you ever fret or worry,
I'll return to you Honey dear.
