Living
Hands Around, My Honey
From Oklahoma Sunshine (1905)
Living
Sparrow on the wagon-shed,
Chirping with a will;
Robin in the cherry-tree
Warblin' fit to kill!
Every thing's rejoicin',
Hidin' of the wrong,--
So hands around, my honey,
And we'll join the song!
Mock-bird on the chimney top,--
How that rascal mocks,--
Spillin' songs of melody,
From his music-box!
Over all the live-long place
All the pleasures throng,
So hands around, my honey,
And we'll join the song!
