a hand at a green, green tree.

So, the tree was made, I guess you heard, up in, well, he 

made a little bird.
          C                                            F
Then they waited around till the end of spring, savin' every

Db                                              Gb
In a little while, when he made that girl, they looked around 
                   Ab                            Db      Ab
for a little word..sounded sweet as turtle dove, so they called 
   Db
it love.
Db                                               Gb
Then they went around looking everywhere, takin' love from here, 
                        Ab                            Db
love from there, and he stored it up in a little cart for my 
Ab      Db
honey's heart.

CHORUS:
    Gb                                     Db
Oh, honeycomb, won't you be my baby, well, honeycomb, be my own.
(Honeycomb, honeycomb)
       Ab                                        Db       Ab
Just a hanka hair and a piece of bone and made a walkin', talkin'
Db
honeycomb.
      Gb                                     Db
Well, honeycomb, won't you be my baby, well, honeycomb, be my own.
