Honey Hush
Robert Night Hawk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, come in this house, stop all that yakety-yak
Come in this house, stop all that yakety-yak
'Cause your sugar daddy don't want no talkin' back
You keep on a-tellin', talking 'bout this and that
You keep on a-talkin', talking 'bout this and that
I got news for you, you ain't nothing but an alleycat

Turn off the waterworks baby, they don't move me no-more
Turn off the waterworks baby, they don't move me no-more
When I leave this time, I ain't com' back no-more
Honey hush! Oow!

I said come in this house, stop all that yakety-yak
Come on in this house woman, stop all that yakety-yak
Don't make me nervous, I'm holdin' a baseball bat
Well it's a hi-ho, hi-ho silver
A hi-ho, a hi-ho silver, hi-ho, a hi-ho silver




Hi-ho, hi-ho silver
Hi-ho, hi-ho silver away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Robert Night Hawk's song "Honey Hush" are straightforward, yet they carry significant meaning. In the lines, Night Hawk tells his partner to stop talking excessively and to stop arguing because it annoys him. He labels her as an alleycat, which is a derogatory term used to describe a woman who is promiscuous or of low moral standards. The use of this term suggests how he views his partner: as someone who does not adhere to the societal norms of proper behavior. When Night Hawk asks his partner to stop crying, he implies that he is immune to her tears, and they no longer affect him as they once did. He also indicates that he is leaving and will not come back again, a warning that he might be reaching the end of his relationship with her.


Overall, "Honey Hush" is a typical blues song that talks about the turbulent aspects of relationships. The song's blunt and straightforward lyrics, combined with Night Hawk's raw and gut-wrenching vocals, deliver a powerful message to the listener. Despite its simplicity, the song manages to convey the emotions of one partner who is tired of the other's behavior.
