Subject: Lyr Add:I'LL BE WITH YOU HONEY IN HONEYSUCKLE TIME
Another one with a similar title, from the sheet music at Mississippi State University:


I'LL BE WITH YOU HONEY IN HONEYSUCKLE TIME
Words and music by Olive Frields Newman
Chicago: Will Rossiter, ©1910.

1. Dry your tears, honey dear. Don't you sigh. Don't you cry,
For it breaks my poor heart, dear, to leave you.
I'll return in the spring and I'll bring you a ring
If you promise that you'll be true.
Now cheer up and smile on me, honey,
And be happy while I am away.
I will promise you too that I'll be fond and true
And remember these words I say:

CHORUS: I'll be with you, honey, when it's honeysuckle time,
When the flowers are in bloom.
In the sunny summer time
To the church we'll go, dear,
And then the wedding bells will chime.
You can bet your money,
I'll be with you, honey, when it's honeysuckle time.
One good kiss deserves another.
That's the only music that was ever meant for me,
That tantalizin' hypnotizin' mesmerizin' Mendelssohn tune.

2. Never fear, honey dear. Don't you sigh. Don't you cry,
For you see, I have come back to wed you.
Springtime, dear, it is here, with its sunshine and cheer,
And its beautiful skies of blue.
Now put on your little sun-bonnet
And your dress with the flowers so gay.
We will walk hand in hand to the altar so grand
While the wedding march they will play.
