"My Honey Lou" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

When the sun sets in the west, my Honey Lou
Then the time I love you best, my Honey Lou
Come and look into my eyes
When the moon shines in the skies
I'll be in paradise, my Honey Lou

Last night I waited long, my Honey Lou
And told the birds my song, my Honey Lou
When the bright and silver moon
Sheds its soft and mellow light
I love you more each night, my Honey Lou

[Instrumental break]

When the birds have hushed their song, my Honey Lou
All the twilight shadows on my Honey Lou
My heart forever beats
For my Honey gal so sweet
I'll lay it at your feet, my Honey Lou

Last night I waited long, my Honey Lou
And told the birds my song, my Honey Lou
When the bright and silver moon
Sheds its soft and mellow light
I love you more each night, my Honey Lou

[Instrumental break]

Last night I waited long, my Honey Lou
And told the birds my song, my Honey Lou
When the bright and silver moon
Sheds its soft and mellow light
I love you more each night, my Honey Lou
