Well, a-honey-honey, please don't go
Well, don't you know I love you so
How can our love grow
If you bye-bye-baby me
(Dubba-dubba)
Well, a-honey-honey, say you'll stay
Please don't ever go away
Each night I dread the day
That you bye-bye-baby me

I gotta rattle my bones 'cause I'm a rollin' stone
And I'm-a always movin' around
As the weeks go by, I feel like I
Oughta get out of this town
Well, my baby packs my suitcase
And comes down to the train
With a tear in her eye, she says goodbye
And my heart fills with pain

Well, she says, honey-honey, please don't go
Ah, honey, I love you so
How can our love grow
If you bye-bye-baby me
(Dubba-dubba)
Well, a-honey-honey say you'll stay
Please don't ever go away
Each night I dread the day
That you bye-bye-baby me
Well, a-sittin' on that choo-choo train
I sip a little rock 'n' rye
I visualize my baby
I almost hear her cry
Try hard not to listen, turn my head away
But each chug-chug of the choo-choo train
I can hear my baby say

Well, she says, a-honey-honey, please don't go
Honey, I love you so
How can our love grow
If you bye-bye-baby me
(Dubba-dubba)
Well, a-honey-honey say you'll stay
Please don't ever go away
Each night I dread the day
That you bye-bye-baby me
