About This Song


Another one of those Bo Carter-ish 'euphemism blues', but arranged this time for a sort of old-style country blues piano.

Honey, You’re My Bread ...

Written by Kyle Mercer

I said Honey you're my bread and butter
You're my thick and thin
I said Honey you're my bread and butter
You're my thick and thin
I said Honey you're my bread and butter
You're my thick and thin
Hear me scratching at your back door girl
Why won't you let me in

She said Sugar, you got a lot of nerve
Come scratchin' at my door
She said Sugar, you got lots of nerve
Come scratchin' round my door
She said Sugar, you got quite the nerve
Be scratchin' up my door
I hear you're running round Chicago town
You can't scratch my stuff no more

I said Honey you're my victory lap
You're my loving cup
I said Honey you're my victory lap
My sweet, sweet loving cup
I said I'm here to take my victory lap
Hug that lovin' cup
Hear me knocking on your back porch girl
Why won't you give it up

She said Sugar, you can take your shuck
And you can take your jive
She said Sugar, you can take your shuck
And you can take your jive
And she said Sugar, you can put that stuff
Somewhere the sun don't shine
You come sniffin' 'round my sweet back porch
I'll skin your ass alive

I said Honey you're my bread and butter
You're my thick and thin
I said Honey you're my bread and butter
You're my thick and thin
I said Honey you're my bread and butter
You're my thick and thin
Let's stop beatin' 'round your bushes, babe
Just please, please let me in

Well I been to Spain
Flown aeroplanes
Traipsed all around the world
I done been to Spain
Flown aeroplanes
Traipsed all around the world
I said I been to Spain
Rode aeroplanes
Tramped all around the world
I been here and there, I been everywhere
She's my bestest back door girl
I been here and there, I been everywhere
She's my bestest back door girl
