Lyrics:
First verse
I love a gal in far off Hindoostan Oh my. I'm going back to win her heart and hand Oh my, She is the queen of all the Hindoo land Oh my Honey Lou, I love you and I'll take you in my arms and softly say.
Chorus
I wants to own you honey, Altho' I has no money, My heart it feels so funny dusky maid divine, Oh, babe, I couldn't live without you, I'll never, never doubt you, When I look into your eyes Then I wants my honey Lou I wants to own you honey, Altho' I has no money, My heart it feels so funny dusky maid divine, Oh, babe, I couldn't live without you, I'll never, never doubt you, When I look into your eyes Then I wants my honey Lou
Second verse
When birds are singing in the bamboo tree Oh my. I think my honey Lou's a-calling me Oh my, My heart is lonesome lonesome as can be Oh my Honey Lou, I'll be true and I'm coming back to whisper soft and low.
(Chorus)
