Intro: #1. You're shiftless and you're lazy, just like that hound dog, Daisy, I had when grandma raised me, Honey Chile. When Granny got too old to scorn me, dear old auntie warned me, you sure was no good for me, Honey Chile. #2. But your kiss is sweeter than the cake, that Grandma used to bake. Oh, them sweet little things about ya, sure enough takes the cake. You ain't gonna amount to nothing, cause you ain't gonna work for nothing. Without you, I'm good for nothing, Honey Chile. Honey Chile. Honey Chile, sure 'bout to drive me wild and I love you so, can't let go, now, Honey Chile. Oooo, sugar Chile, I'd walk me a country mile, just to be with you and that's the truth, now, Honey Chile. #3. I try to act like a lady, but you've been courtin' Sadie. Your reputation's shady, Honey Chile. Hey, you even took out Sally, who lives across the alley, Oh, I've been keeping tally, Honey Chile. Bridge: You're like the grapes upon the vine that went into vinted wine. Cause like that home made wine, so sweet, you sure enough drive me out of my mind, now. You ain't nothing but a playboy, using me for a play toy. You're ruining my pride and joy, now, Honey Chile. Honey Chile. Honey Chile, sure 'bout to drive me wild and I love you so, can't let go, now, Honey Chile. Oooo, sugar Chile, I'd walk me a country mile, just to be with you and that's the truth, now, Honey Chile. INTERLUDE: #4. Ooh, listen here, now, one day I'm gonna get stronger and I won't need you no longer, this feeling will be a goner, Honey Chile. Hey, now, I can't take disgracin', that ain't the way granny raised me, you're gonna hurt, you crazy, Honey Chile. Sugar Chile, I'd walk me a country mile, just to be with you in solitude, Honey Chile. OUTRO: Hey, Honey Chile, sure 'bout to drive me wild, and I love you so, can't let go now, Honey Chile, hey, sugar Chile..(Fade.)
