10 Oct 06 - 11:18 AM (#1854895) Subject: Lyr Add: I'VE GOT NO HONEY BABY NOW (Frank Blevins From: GUEST Thanks Sorcha, I'd like to know the difference between Red Rocking Chair/ Honey Babe. Some of the lyrics are Red Rocking chair and the others are similar to Doc Watson's version with the "me oh my" lyric. This is a different version. The singing is hard to understand. Here's what I have: Lyr add: "I've Got No Honey Baby Now" by "Frank Blevins & His Tar Heel Rattlers." Used to go a courtin', didn't know how Now I wanna get married; Got no honey babe now Now I will be marryin', goin' across the sea Now don't have my children along No honey babe for me Used to be a single man, a-flirtin' around town Now I am a married man I carry my baby 'round I'd rather be a sailor, way out on the sea Than to be a married man; A baby on my knee. Used to go a courtin', didn't know how Now I wanna get married; Got no honey babe now |

10 Oct 06 - 02:06 PM (#1855065) Subject: RE: lyr req: I've got no Honey Baby Now From: Janie I was thinking that Red Rocking Chair and Honey Babe were variations of the same song. According to http://www.bluegrassmessengers.com/master/honeybabe.html they are. Ditto Red Rocking Chair. Still looking for the lyrics you have above from Blevins. They are very different from lyrics I found for the song anywhere else. I'll take a listen after a bit. Janie |

10 Oct 06 - 11:27 PM (#1855526) Subject: RE: lyr req: I've got no Honey Baby Now From: GUEST,Richie Thanks, Dock Boggs' Sugar Baby is the branch under which I categorize the Red Apple Juice/Red Rocking Chair/Honey Babe songs. What a great song! This is what I sing: Ain't got no use Ain't got no use, For your red apple juice Ain't go no honey baby now Aint got no honey baby now Even though the "Ain't got no honey babe" lyric is the same last line I consider the songs to be related (lyrics) but different songs. There are floater verses from "Singlegirl/" and "Free Little Bird." This is similar to "Silly Bill." Anyone have versions of Silly Bill? Richie |

I have heard Eli Smith and his band the Dust Busters use the eighteen pounds of meat a week verse from Way Down the Old Plank Road (famously by Uncle Dave Macon). Also, I know it's splitting hairs, but I have also heard the Dust Busters sing the first verse as "Used to go a-courtin', didn't know how, now my love got marries, got no honey babe now." |
