Honey Chil’

Oh, honey chil'
Don’t waste your smile
Save all your love for me
When I come home it'll be worthwhile
Just you wait and see

I know I've been a bad bad boy
And been away from home
But didn’t I write and didn't I call you
Didn't I telephone?
I've shown your picture to my friends
And they all agree
That oh, honey chil', that you must wait for me
Oh, honey chil', that you must wait for me

I haven't made much money
But love is a splendid thing
And I gotta tell you, honey
I've saved enough to buy a ring

We’ll make a little love-nest
That we can call our own
Other folks may laugh and scorn
But wе will have a home
Little childrеn round our feet
As happy as can be
If only, honey, you will wait for me
If only, honey, you will wait for me

Twenty years have passed since then
And things got slowly worse
(Dammit)
Mother was evicted from a slum in town
And came to join us first

Then her brother from Milwaukee
Went and lost his door key
And didn’t even ask if he could stay
He just walked in as cool as a cat
And asked to stay the night
Now, ah, honey chil', you know that just ain’t right
Oh, honey chil', you know it just ain't right

Kids seem to sprout from every pore
And now we got seventeen
I tell you, honey, I can't take no more
I’m the saddest sight I've ever seen

That lovely girl that I once knew
Just let herself go
"Don't you talk 'bout me like that
You no-good so-and-so"
I tell you, folks, I've had enough
I've given all I'm giving
Oh, honey chil', you just can't call this living
Oh, honey chil', you just can't call this living
