GOODBYE, MY HONEY, I'M GONE. AKA and see "Bye-Bye My Honey I'm Gone." American, Reel (cut time). USA, Missouri. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Originally recorded by the Grant Brothers, and by the Pickard Family, both in 1929. There are lyrics to the tune (reminiscent of songs such as "Mole in the Ground"), some of which go:

Goodbye, my honey, I'm gone,
Oh, goodbye, my honey, I'm gone;
I'm going far away but I'll think of you each day,
Oh, goodbye, my honey, I'm gone.

Mark Wilson suggests connections with latter-Minstrel era songs, for which see the similarly-titled "annotation:Bye-Bye My Honey I'm Gone".
