Tupelo Honey

                                  You can take all the tea in China

Put it in a big brown bag for me

Sail right round the seven oceans

Drop it straight into the deep blue sea

 

He's as sweet as Tupelo honey

He's an angel of the first degree

He's as sweet as Tupelo honey

Just like honey, baby, from the bee

 

Now you can't stop us on the road to freedom

You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see

Men with insight, men in granite

Knights in armor bent on chivalry

 

He's as sweet as Tupelo honey

He's an angel of the first degree

He's as sweet as Tupelo honey

Just like honey, baby, from the bee

 

I heard a tale of old Manhattan

I've never been there, but I want, want to go

Standing waiting on my number

And my number, it's gonna show

 

He's as sweet as Tupelo, Tupelo honey

He's an angel of the first degree

He's as sweet, he's as sweet as Tupelo honey

Just like honey, baby, from the bee

 

He's as sweet, he's as sweet as Tupelo honey

He's an angel of the first degree

He's as sweet as Tupelo honey

Just like honey, baby, from the bee

He's as sweet, he's as sweet
