Some words that are spelled the same or similarly can have different origins and meanings.

As has been previously indicated in this thread, the word "dony"/"doney" has multiple origins. "Dony"/"Doney" it can mean a female (as in the Spanish 'doña') or it can mean the color black (dun).

Here's an example of the word "doney" meaning woman (or darling):

Well, my little Doney Gal, don't you guess
Better be making your wedding dress
Wedding dress, wedding dress
Better be making your wedding dress

Well, it's already made, trimmed in green
Prettiest dress you've ever seen
Ever seen, ever seen
Prettiest dress you've ever seen

Well, it's already made, trimmed in red
Stitched and sewed with a golden thread
Golden thread, golden thread
Stitched and sewed with a golden thread

etc
