"On My Word of Honor" — a blues promise. The word as bond.
On my word of honor
All my love belongs to you
Please put your faith in me
You see how true I'll be
On my word of honor
You can trust me with your heart
And I pledge mine to you
It's yours my whole life through
Baby, lips never kiss you
Again if they're telling you a lie
And forever, ever, ever, ever and ever
I cross my heart and hope to die
On my word of honor
You mean everything to me
I swear by stars above
I'll keep my word, my love
Baby, lips never kiss you
Again if they're telling you a lie
And forever, ever, ever, ever and ever
I cross my heart and hope to die
On my word of honor
You mean everything to me
I swear by stars above
I'll keep my word, my love
