Kiss Me Honey Do 1898

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 22 Feb 2005

When the cotton fields am withered
an' de corn am in de groun'
at de cabin of his Dinah
dis coon's always hangin' roun'
when de twilight am all faded
an' de sun am gone to res'
den I serenades de lady I loves bes'

Dinah de moon am shinin'
for you dis coon am pinin'
my arm will soon
aroun' your wais' be twinin'
kiss me, Honey, do.

Dinah de moon am shinin'
for you dis coon am pinin'
my arm will soon
aroun' your wais' be twinin'
kiss me, Honey, do.

When my boat is on de bayou
driftin' down de silver tide
dere's a chocolate colored lady
snugglin' close up by my side
with her head upon my shoulder
while I held her lily han'
then I hear my baby
whisper to her man.

Dinah de moon am shinin'
for you dis coon am pinin'
my arm will soon
aroun' your wais' be twinin'
kiss me, Honey, do.

Dinah de moon am shinin'
for you dis coon am pinin'
my arm will soon
aroun' your wais' be twinin'
kiss me, Honey, do.
