Honey, Honey,
hurry put your best clothes on,
come out and meet me
at the old red barn.
I've got the mule team
hitched up waitin' you there.
I'm goin' to take you to a swell affair.
Ev'rybody's waitin' there for me and you,
down at the Mississippi Barbecue,
we'll have the grandest spree
that you ever dared to see,
before that party is through.

Oh, Honey hear the people cheer,
come here I'm goin'
we'll be singin' and wingin'
till the hour of dawn,
Ev'ry kind of Devil Dance
that ever was born,
Oh hear that grand Kentucky band,
Good land, some blowin',
Gee, I'm just goin' dippy
about that Mississippi Barbecue.

Oh, Honey hear the people cheer,
come here I'm goin'
we'll be singin' and wingin'
till the hour of dawn,
Ev'ry kind of Devil Dance
that ever was born,
Oh hear that grand Kentucky band,
Good land, some blowin',
Gee, I'm just goin' dippy
about that Mississippi Barbecue.

Soon you'll hear the steamboat
comin' down the stream,
puffin' and tootin'
with a mighty scream.
She'll bring the
Darktown dandies from Tennessee.
Down to Kentucky to the jubilee
smell the grand aroma of that cookin' sweet,
Lordy I wish that it was time to eat.
I'll have an awful fight
controllin' my appetite,
it runs clean down to my feet.

Oh, Honey hear the people cheer,
come here I'm goin'
we'll be singin' and wingin'
till the hour of dawn,
Ev'ry kind of Devil Dance
that ever was born,
Oh hear that grand Kentucky band,
Good land, some blowin',
Gee, I'm just goin' dippy
about that Mississippi Barbecue.

Oh, Honey hear the people cheer,
come here I'm goin'
we'll be singin' and wingin'
till the hour of dawn,
Ev'ry kind of Devil Dance
that ever was born,
Oh hear that grand Kentucky band,
Good land, some blowin',
Gee, I'm just goin' dippy
about that Mississippi Barbecue.
