Love me, love me evermore, Oh, my honey! Oh, my honey! Love me till the Judgment Day, Oh, my honey! Oh, my honey! When the angel sounds the call Hold my hand and hold it long I will guide thee o'er the tide To the Throne of God Himself, Oh, my honey! Oh, my honey! Love me, love me evermore, Oh, my honey! Oh, my honey! Love me through the ages long, Oh, my honey! Oh, my honey! Kiss my brow when life is cold And a-down the stream I float, Lift me from the ways of earth To the warmth of God Himself, Oh, my honey! Oh, my honey! Love me, love me evermore, Oh, my honey! Oh, my honey! Love me till the stream runs dry, Oh, my honey! Oh, my hone! Thrice a thousand times to die Would be like a day with God If that dying would bring thee To my heart a single hour, Oh, my honey!
