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
