The local Honeys clearly know sorrow well, but few can transform it into beauty like these two do.
🙌
This is going to echo and reverberate in my head all day. Hauntingly beautiful ballad!
That's what the horse trader said...
Love these guys ,so talented. Amazing voices and sound.i got to see them with Matt heckler and lost dog.

amazing melodies and harmonies. what a special sound comes from her voice in this song.
Beautiful song! I love this band so much they have the most authentic sound ❤
Darned if these ladies don't bring me to tears every time.
Listened over two dozen times now lol.
Best version by far, hopefully gets up on Spotify. I usually listen to rap but damn…
this is something
I love it when this channel posts artistic gems like this that mainstream dismisses as backwoods voices. They have strong roots and beautiful branches
Sitting outside of my job in the parking lot with goosebumps from head to toe
A lot of good memories in Nebraska 😔 beautifully done, ladies.
Saw them play this in Pittsburgh and I was moved to tears then and I'm moved to tears now🙌🏼❤️ these ladies are the real deal
Saw them when they opened for Benny Tod in Pittsburgh and they absolutely floored everyone in the venue.
Oh my gawd at this...ummm im.not sure how to express how eargasmic this is.
Local Honey's are too good! That harmonizing gets me every time!
Amazing sound, what a voice!!
Agreed 🤠
I love everything the local honeys sing. Just something about women singing tear jerking songs gets me everytime.
My goodness ladies. That's some phenomenal music and singing. Great song
Third time listening back to back. Tears each time. A very powerful song.
Love this song! And the record is heart wrenching and hopeful at the same time. Love it! Local Honeys are amazing!
That record is fire
This is wonderful....ethereal.
this will haunt me forever in the best possible way. thank you.
Too fucking good. Saw them last summer and it was unreal, super trippy with the harmonium.
But if wishes were horses, he’d already died…. That right there? It’s called poetry…
I just keep thinking of Claire in Lonesome Dove.
Everything about this is magnificent !
🤠

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
A dumbass horse trader from Dumbass, Nebraska
Made a mess of himself for his wife to look after
Took a hoof to the head and knocked out his senses
Thoughts hung like rain from the planks of the fences
[Interlude]
Ohoooohoooohooohooo, Ohoooohoooohooohooo
Ohoooohoooohooohooo, Ohoooohoooohooo
[Verse 2]
A whole heap of horses to brand and to break
But she ain't too hopeful that he'll ever wake
So she settles the dealings and tends his bedside
But if wishes were horses he'd already died
[Interlude]
Ohoooohoooohooohooo, Ohoooohoooohooohooo
Ohoooohoooohooohooo, Ohoooohoooohooo
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
In this vast lonesome country where the sky came undone
We grow our own troubles that you can't outrun
Horses flee danger, women stand ground
Steadfast and surefooted, they don't often back down
No place for brain swelling or a fractured skull
Time can't afford a break or to lull
In an orchard-less landscape she'll live and she'll die
And eat lots of peaches on the other side
[Interlude]
Ohoooohoooohooohooo, Ohoooohoooohooohooo
Ohoooohoooohooohooo, Ohoooohoooohooo
Damn.

Well I'm hooked on the honeys. I love their music. The singer on the group is beautiful. They both are but I believe I love the Lil short gal. Lol.
Beautiful.
Love a good old time waltz.
Angelic. Please keep singing.
Jesus!!! That voice!!!
Love this group. Killer song
thank you
Those voices!
🙌
Is this song inspired by Clara Allen from Lonesome Dove?? Cause it’s spot on. Love it.
Yes. Saw them live and they said this song and some of their others were based on lonesome dove characters
Exactly what I thought too
I’ve made myself a dumbass in Arizona.. but I’m fixin it. These gals give me strength
So beautiful
Are they singing about Clara from lonesome dove ??
As soon as she sang about her husband getting kicked in the head I thought the same thing!
Thanks for exposing me to good music!
love it
Glad i clicked on this
More greats from the great state of Kentucky.
Kentucky spells Local Honeys
Somebody read lonesome dove!
Yay I love this song (and this song's name)
He s so senseless
Always swinging for the fences
Leaving himself
alone and defenceless
But she always finds out
Finds him
And takes him home
Too Tend to his needs
Until to the next
Episode
When he does it all over again
Just to feel her love
It's a game he's gotta play
Cause he thinks he
Doesn't deserve
To be loved
She still plays his game
She knows why
She knows his pain
She does it for him
She does it for love
It's written in the skies
Above
Their little town
It's still beautiful
And real
No matter the cost
The time that they lose
Is not really lost
It's all their love
Future and past
