Tupelo Honey

You can take all the tea in China

Put it in a big brown bag for me

Sail right around 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 from the bee

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 from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom

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

Men with insight, men in granite

Knights in armor intent 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 from the bee

You know he's alright

You know he's alright with me

He's alright, he's alright (he's an angel)

You can take all the tea in China

Put it in a big brown bag for me

Sail it right around the seven oceans

Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea

Because 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 from the bee

He's as sweet as tupelo honey

He's an angel of the first degree

He's as sweet as tupelo honey

Just like the honey, baby, from the bee

He's my baby, you know he's alright
