I had a little honey back in my hometown A sweet southern belle that tried to settle
me down I had to run away and try to see the world
But I ain't seen nothing like my hometown girl Henrietta
She cried when I left and tried to beg me to stay
But I was too hard headed and I went anyway I'm here in the city trying to be a big shot
But I'm only sad and lonely now because I ain't got Henrietta
Henrietta, I'm on my way back home Henrietta, leave the porch light on
Henrietta, baby now I see You're the only girl in the world for me
Henrietta, Henrietta
When I get back home I hope I ain't too late To tell her that I love her and I made a mistake
She's pretty as a picture in a perfect frame She's my sugar pie honey with a funny name
Henrietta, Henrietta, I'm on my way back home Henrietta, leave the porch light on
Henrietta, baby now I see You're the only girl in the world for me
Henrietta, Henrietta, Henrietta, Henrietta
