The best-selling version was recorded by Jimmie Rodgers and charted at number one on the Billboard Top 100 in 1957.[1] "Honeycomb" also reached number one on the R&B Best Sellers chart [2] and number seven on the Country & Western Best Sellers in Stores chart.[3]

Such orders did not improve Jefferson's popularity. January 04, 1865 - Union troops left from Bermuda Hundred for a new assault on Fort Fisher.

From Linda Lane Lane
('64) of VA - 01/03/11 - "Deepest Sympathy":
Carol, it seems every time I
feel the need to call and talk to you, there is something happening in
both our lives. My Deepest Sympathy to Paul, you and his entire family.
His brother is no longer enduring any pain or suffering any more. I know
he will be missed but remind Paul of all the precious memories he has of
63 years with his brother. I'm glad you are closer in distance and could
spend quality time with him while he was in remission. My Love to both
of you during this difficult time. I realize I'm in arrears in sending a donation to you to pay for the expenses of the web site. If I paid $1 for each laugh, each tear, each memory generated from the newsletters, I'd need to win the lottery. That's what the newsletters mean to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs to send $$$ to help keep this site going. Jimmy and I will be leaving for Virginia on Wednesday. He claims he will receive better nursing care if he stays in Florida. I would agree as the healing process for having an emergency gall bladder removal 2 days after Christmas has run its course. The therapeutic nurse in me is tired of his not sleeping and needing constant reassurance. He's right, I won't be running up and down the steps waiting on him in VA. I always said I would rather take care of the sickest patient in ICU than Jimmy Lane with a hang-nail. I'll let you know if he makes the flight with me. Take care of your self, my love to you, Paul and the family. Linda LL
Thank you so much,
Linda-Linda!
We'll keep Jimmy in our prayers, as that just doesn't sound like too much fun..... |

Nobody does snowmen quite like
Calvin and Hobbes!
Remember, if
these made you laugh, share the smile with someone else.

Recorded by Jimmie Rodgers (b. 18 Sept 1933), 1957
Well it's a darn good life
And it's kinda funny
How the Lord made the bee
And the bee made the honey
And the honeybee lookin' for a home
And they called it honeycomb
And they roamed 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
Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
And 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
(Honeycomb)
And the Lord said now that I made a bee
I'm gonna look all around for a green, green tree
And He made a little tree and I guess you heard
Oh, then well he made a little bird
And they waited all around until the end of Spring
Gettin' every note that the birdie'd sing
And they put 'em all into one sweet tome
For my Honeycomb
Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
And 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
(Honeycomb)
And the Lord says now that I made a bird
I'm gonna look all round for a little ol' word
That sounds about sweet like "turtledove"
And I guess I'm gonna call it "love"
And He roamed the world lookin' everywhere
Gettin' love from here, love from there
And He put it all in a little ol' part
Of my baby's heart
Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
And 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
