Honey Fetch De Light

I low I hear dat possum breve

     Honey fetch de light;

An’d dis yar chile doan ten ter leave,

     Honey fetch de light.

I’ll hol’ my hed upon his head,

     Honey fetch de light,

Until I’se sho’ at he is dead;

     Honey fetch de light.

            Chorus.

Go fetch de bag an’ fetch de gun,

I spec dis chap he like ter run,

But dis yar chile he hab some fun,

     Honey fetch de light.

               II.

De possum fool de coon to much,

     Honey fetch de light;

But dis yar chile ain’ one of such,

     Honey fetch de light.

I’ll hol’ my hed upon his head,

     Honey fetch de light;

Until I’se sho’ at he is dead,

     Honey fetch de light.

                               Chor.
