SWEET CHILD. AKA "Honey," "The Crawdad Song." American; Reel and song. USA; Missouri, Oklahoma, Louisiana. A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). One part tune. These words sung to the tune were collected in Missouri by Marion Thede, who also printed the Louisiana version of the lyrics:
Standin' on a corner and I meant no harm my honey,
Standin' on a corner and I meant no harm my sweet child;
Standin' on a corner and I meant no harm
A big policeman took me by the arm my sweet child.
Rared and I kicked and I tried to get loose my honey,
Rared and I kicked and I tried to get loose my sweet child;
Rared and I kicked and I tried to get loose,
But he took me off to the calaboose my sweet child.
A little bit cloudy but it ain't a gonna rain my honey,
A little bit cloudy but it ain't a gonna rain my sweet Child;
A little bit cloudy but it ain't a gonna rain,
We'll take a trip on the north bound train my sweet child.
When I die don't bury me a tall my honey,
When I die don't bury me a tall my sweet child;
When I die don't bury me a tall,
Just lay me away in alcohol (al ky hol) my sweet child.
