Lyrics Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond

You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hangin' 'Round Your Face

You're so sweet,

Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face

Kentucky moonshine

Could never take your place

And your eyes

Could give me goose bumps down to my toes

Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

And I guess it shows.

Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)

Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)

And you're nothing like them females

From Dover City

(nothin' at all)

Front teeth missin'

(hee, you got your front teeth missin')

And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)

You're more loyal than my dog Sam,

And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)

You're so sweet,

Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face

Kentucky moonshine

Could never take your place

And your eyes

Could give me goose bumps down to my toes

Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

and I guess it shows.

I can't forget (oh, no)

When we first met (first)

Well, it was bull wrestling time

At the county fair rodeo

(or is it ro-de-o)

And I almost cried (wept)

When you took first prize

(first prize, sweetheart)

Well,

You just looked them critters in the face

And down they'd go

(they never had a chance)

You're so sweet,

Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face

Kentucky moonshine

Could never take your place

And your eyes

Could give me goose bumps down to my toes

Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

and I guess it shows.

You're so sweet,

Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face

Kentucky moonshine

Could never take your place

And your eyes

Could give me goose bumps down to my toes

Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

And I guess it shows
