Gotta explain that song

When i was little, one of my aunties had an old portable record player & a bunch of old 45 RPM records. (Does anyone today even know what those are?) Anyway, i remembered an old catchy tune & when we bought Sugarbear i started humming it & using "Sugarbear" as part of the lyrics. Duane had never heard the song, & i had to do some looking to find the original, 'cause i didn't remember it.

Turns out that it was "Honeycomb." So that link is to YouTube playing of it. I don't know if that is the one i listened to as a child.

Going home from being down the hill, when we get to Onyx Summit we sing "Sugarbear" as the refrain. But Duane got ambitious & wrote lyrics to the whole thing.

Another song we croggle is "Big Rock Candy Mountain" where we substitute "Sugarloaf" for "Big Rock." We live near Sugarloaf Candy mountain. :)

SugarBear


(Sugarbear)
(Sugarbear)

Well it's a darn good life
And it's kinda funny
How the Lord made the me
And he made my honey
And we found a home to share
And we called it Sugarbear
And they roamed the world and they gathered all
Of their love into one sweet ball
And the Sugarbear visits from a million trips
Still makes a smile on my baby's lips

Oh, Sugarbear, won't you be my honey
Sugarbear, be my home
Got a hank o' wood and some cat hair
Were a walkin' talkin' bout Sugarbear
Well, Sugarbear, won't you be my honey
Well, Sugarbear, be my home
It's a darn good life, even say divine
When you got a wife like mine
And..

(Sugarbear)

And the Lord said now that I made thee
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 till the end of Spring
Gettin' every note that the birdie'd sing
And they put 'em all into one tree there
And called it Sugarbear

Oh, Sugarbear, won't you be my honey
Sugarbear, be my home
Got a hank o' wood and some cat hair
Were a walkin' talkin' bout Sugarbear
Well, Sugarbear, won't you be my honey
Well, Sugarbear, be my home
It's a darn good life, even say divine
When you got a wife like mine
And..

(Sugarbear)

And the Lord says now that I made a bird
I'm gonna look all round for a little squirrel
That squeeks like "turtledoves"
And I guess I'm gonna call him "bud"
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, Sugarbear, won't you be my honey
Sugarbear, be my home
Got a hank o' wood and some cat hair
Were a walkin' talkin' bout Sugarbear
Well, Sugarbear, won't you be my honey
Well, Sugarbear, be my home
It's a darn good life, even say divine
When you got a wife like mine
And..

(Sugarbear)
