Oh honey, you've more than won me

voice; pianosCollected by Ronald Scheuerman and Bob Edmisten For M. C. Parler Transcribed by Ronald Scheuerman Sung by Mrs. Stella Evans Huntsville, Arkansas 20 December 1959 and Mary Bradley Reel 323, Item 3 Honey Does You Love Your Man There's a little old mud cabin, Down in Tennessee And the morning glories creeping 'round the door There's a pretty little yeller gal waiting there for me She has been my lady friend a year or more Whey we were little pickaninnys long ago We used to play in the sand In the evening when the sun sinking low Then I used to tell her while I hold her hand. Chorus: Oh honey, you've more than won me Cast then big eyes down upon me Give me that little ole brown hand And we'll live on the pork and kisses If you will be my missus Honey does you love your man. She's the prettiest little coon gal that you could run across And I dreamed about her mostly every night She's the color of a saddle or sorrel horse And I couldn't love her more if she were white I'm a saving all my money now to marry her I never even monkey with the dice Every penny dat I get I'm going to give to her But then of course I'll have to tell her more than twice.
