Lyrics:
First verse
When de banjo's a-strummin' And de darkies a-hummin', Den I want yer, ma honey, yes, I do! I'm a thinkin' ob yer daily, Dress'd so sweet and also gaily, and my hear is forever true to you! I'm a-thinking ob yer sadly, Co's I love yer mighty madly, And I don't know what to do! So come back to please me, Don't try for to tease me, Co's I want yer, Ma honey, yes, I do!
Chorus
I want yer, ma honey, yes, I want yer mighty badly; I'm a longin' for yer daily, Co's I love yer mighty madly! So come back to please me, Don't try for to tease me, Co's I want yer, ma honey, yes, I want yer, want yer, want yer; Co's I want yer, ma honey, yes, I do!
Second verse
When de stars am a-gleamin' And de birds am a-dreamin', Den I want yer, ma honey, yes, I do! For I love yer ev'ry minute, And nobody else is in it, And my heart is forever true to you! Den don't linger longer, Co's my love yer mighty madly, And I don't know what to do! So come back, my lady, My love and my baby, Co’s I want yer, ma honey, yes, I do!
(Chorus)
