Thread Name: Lyr Req: Honeysuckle Time (Red Fox Chasers)
Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN IT'S HONEYSUCKLE TIME IN HONEYLAND
Yet another one, also from the sheet music at Mississippi State University:


WHEN IT'S HONEYSUCKLE TIME IN HONEYLAND
Words, Jeff Branen. Music, Jimmie Hollis.

1. Honey dear, can't you hear the honeysuckles calling?
I'll soon be on my way,
Strolling soon 'neath the moon
'Mid evening shadows falling.
I'm leaving here today.
I'm as happy as the flow'rs that bloom in May.

CHORUS: When it's honeysuckle time in Honeyland
And the bees are buzzing 'round the vine,
You're my only one; slip your bonnet on,
And hurry; don't worry.
I'll be right there in line.
When the wedding bells ring out to beat the band,
We'll be marching up the aisle, we two.
When it's honeysuckle time in Honeyland,
I'll be waiting, honey dear, for you.

2. Honey dear, can't you hear the dear old preacher saying
Sweet words to you and me?
How sublime! All the time
The organ will be playing,
"What shall the harvest be?"
What a happy day 'twill be for you and me!
