You're shiftless and you're lazy
Just like the hound dog, Daisy
I had when grandma raised me
Honey child, poor Granny
Just like the hound dog, Daisy
I had when grandma raised me
Honey child, poor Granny
Got too old to scorn me
Dear old auntie warned me
You sure was no good for me
Honey child, but your kiss
Dear old auntie warned me
You sure was no good for me
Honey child, but your kiss
Is sweeter than the cake
That grandma used to make
Oh them sweet little things about ya
Sure enough takes the cake
That grandma used to make
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 child, honey child
'Cause you ain't gonna work for nothing
Without you, I'm good for nothing
Honey child, honey child
Sure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so
Can't let go
Now honey child oh sugar child
And I love you so
Can't let go
Now honey child oh sugar child
I'd walk a country mile
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, now honey child
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, now honey child
I try to act like a lady
But you've been courtin' Sadie
Your reputation's shady
Honey child, hey you even took out Sally
But you've been courtin' Sadie
Your reputation's shady
Honey child, hey you even took out Sally
Who lives across the alley
Oh I've been keeping tally
Honey child you're like the grapes
Upon the vine at winning pretty wine
Oh I've been keeping tally
Honey child you're like the grapes
Upon the vine at winning pretty wine
'Coz like that home made wine so sweet
You sure enough drove me out of my mind now
You ain't nothing but a playboy
Using me for a play toy
You sure enough drove 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 child, honey child
Sure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so, can't let go
Now honey child, honey child
Sure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so, can't let go
Now honey, ,oh sugar child
I'd walk a country mile
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, now honey child
I'd walk a country mile
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, now honey child
One day I'm gonna get stronger
And I won't need you no longer
This feeling will be a goner
Honey child, hey now I can't take disgracin'
And I won't need you no longer
This feeling will be a goner
Honey child, hey now I can't take disgracin'
That ain't the way granny raised me
You're gonna just hurt like crazy
Honey child, sugar child
I'd walk a country mile
You're gonna just hurt like crazy
Honey child, sugar child
I'd walk a country mile
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, honey child
Hey honey child sure 'bout to drive me wild
And to stay with you, honey child
Hey honey child sure 'bout to drive me wild
