Here's another blues song which contains that "honey baby/babe" phrase:

HONEY BABE BLUES

Well I ain't got no honey baby now
I guess she didn't love me anyhow
Well it's oh me and oh my
Ain't got no honey baby now

Well she left me on that early morning train
I'll never see my girl again
Well it's oh me and oh my
Ain't got no honey baby now

Now good girl you ain't no gal of mine
My honey babe done traveled down the line
Well it's oh me and oh my
Ain't got no honey baby now

I'll see you when your troubles are like mine
When you haven't got a nickel or a dime
Well it's oh me and oh my
Ain't got no honey baby now
