Nelson, Ricky - Honeycomb Lyrics

Well it's a darn good life and it's kinda funny
How the bee was made, the bee made honey
And the honey bee lookin' for a home
Made a honeycomb
Then they combed the world and they gathered all
Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball
And the honeycomb from a million trips
Made my baby's lips
Oh honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Well honeycomb won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when you got a wife
Like honeycomb
Now have you heard tell how they made a bee
Then they tried a hand at a green, green tree
So the tree was made, I guess you heard
Up in, well they made a little bird
Now they waited around 'til the end o' spring
Savin' every note the bird did sing
And they rolled it up into one sweet tone
For my honeycomb
Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Well honeycomb won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when you got a wife
Like honeycomb
In a little while when they made that bird
They looked around for a little word
Sounded sweet as turtle dove
So they called it love
Then they went around lookin' everywhere
Takin' love from here, love from there
And they stored it up in a little cart
For my honey's heart
Oh honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Well honeycomb won't you be my baby
Well honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when you got a wife
Like honeycomb

love doing this song in karaoke.ill post it on my channel once gear is set up

God so sickeningly sweet 🤮

1963, I started to sing this song in my lonely boarding room.  I was 18 then.  Mine is an old LP..

Well it's darn good life and it's kinda funny
How the bee was made and the bee made the honey
And the honeybee looking for home they called honeycomb
And they combed the world and they gathered all
Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball
And a honeycomb from a million trips made my baby's lips

Oh honeycomb won't you be my baby well honeycomb be my own
Just a hank of hair and a piece of bone and made a walking talking honeycomb
Well honeycomb won't you be my baby honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when you got a wife like a honeycomb
Now have you heard tell how he made a bee
Then he tried a hand at a green green tree

So the green was made I guess you heard up in well he made a little bird
Then they waited all around 'til the end of spring
Gettin' every note that the birdie sing
And he wrote it up in one sweet tone for my honeycomb
Oh honeycomb won't you be my baby...
In a little while when he made that girl they looked around for a little word

Sounds as sweet as turtle dove so they called it love
And when he went around looking everywhere
Gettin' love from here, love from there
And he started up in a little ol' part for my honey's heart
Oh honeycomb won't you be my baby...

Tree was made ... (Green?)

The fabulous background choir that pitches in from 0:59 combined with Ricky Nelson's exceptional voice make this rendering of the song uniquely beautiful.

exceptional?

@Hello friends Sure, not only African American people have remarkable voices ... :). BTW, beauty is as much in the ear of the listener as in the eye of the beholder.

@melodies2013 Yeah that's true. I just think Ricky's voice is much more than exceptional♡

They Both ROCK!!!! in there own different ways.

jimmie Rodgers version is much better!

I don't like to say so and so's version was better, because it's a very subjective thing. However, I have to say I do prefer Jimmie Rodgers' version to Ricky's.

they're both good

POOP YOUR PANTS.

Agree. Ricky's version puts me to sleep.

then whya re you here go listen to Jimmie Rodgers

Recuerdo cuando yo tenía 17 año. Compré este disco. nadie más lo conocía. Y still remember it.

What does that mean?

Kenny Dobbins - The Spanish means: "I remember when I was 17. I bought this record, no one else knew it." I still remember it.

@azw596 You're welcome! I debated on this one since it was an album track. I like to concentrate on singles but there are some album tracks that are fun to post too.

@frankapp1 You're welcome! Thanks for commenting!
