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 (Road to freedom)

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

Men with insight, men in granite (Talkin' about insight)

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 (Sweet as)

Just like honey, baby, from the bee

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) He's an angel

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

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 (Sweet as Tupelo honey)

(ooh) He's an angel of the first degree (He's an angel)

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

Just like honey, baby, from the bee (From the bee)

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

And an angel of the first degree (First degree)

He's as sweet as Tupelo honey (Sweet as)

Just like honey, baby, from the bee

He's as sweet, he's as sweet, yes he is
