Motley Words

The other night I had a dream
The funniest dream of all
I dreamt that I was kissin’ you
Behind the dockyard wall

And she said
Little Eyes, I love you (honey!)
Little Eyes, I love you
I love you in the springtime and the fall (honey, honey, honey, honey)
Little Eyes, I love you (honey!)
Little Eyes, I love you
I love you the best of all (honey, honey, honey, honey)

I walked my true love home last night
Beneath thе spreading vine
I put my arms around her waist
And prеssed her lips to mine

I went to call on my best girl
Her bulldog flew at me
And bit me by the old back porch
Right near the maple tree

It was not you that I did see
Behind the dockyard wall
It was my wife a-lookin’ at me
She looked so big and tall

Oh, tell me honey, tell me true
Who is your turtle dove?
Oh, tell me honey, tell me do
Who is the one you love?

And she said
Little Eyes, I love you (honey!)
Little Eyes, I love you
I love you in the springtime and the fall (honey, honey, honey, honey)
Little Eyes, I love you (honey!)
Little Eyes, I love you
I love you the best of all (honey, honey, honey, honey)
