SLOW AND EASY (AN INDIGO FANTASIE)
Words, Harry Williams; music, Norman Spencer, ©1919.

1. Oh, honey dear, my honey dear,
I hear those doggone "blues;"
And, honey dear, oh, listen here,
I feel those doggone shoes.
Though they're new and killing me too,
Hear that blue and what can you do?
Oh, boy! Oh, joy! Let's toddle it through:—

CHORUS 1: But take it slow and easy, if you want to get along with me.
I said, go slow and easy; be as easy as a man can be.
I'm a lady, pure and sweet,
But "shimmee" up a little while I rest my feet.
Go slow and easy if you want to get along with me.

2. Oh, honey dear, my honey dear,
I fear I'll have to stop;
And, honey dear, oh, listen here,
I feel my feet will "pop."
When they choose to put on the blues,
Two new shoes mean terrible news.
Oh, boy! No joy! I've got to refuse:—

CHORUS 2: So walk it slow and easy, if you want to get along with me.
I said, go slow and easy; be as easy as a man can be.
Sit me down here in the shade.
I'd like a little beer—I mean a lemonade.
Go slow and easy if you want to get along with me.
