Tupelo Honey
Van Morrison · A Night in san Francisco [1994]
put it in a big brown bag for me.
Sail right round all the seven oceans,
drop it straight into the deep blue sea.
*chorus*
She's as sweet as tupelo honey.
Shes an angel of the first degree.
She's as sweet, shes as sweet as
tupelo honey. Just like honey baby,
from the bee.
You cant stop us on the road to freedom.
You cant keep us, cause our eyes can see.
Men with insight , men in granite, knights
in armor bent on chivalry.
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey baby, from the bee!
*MUSIC*
You cant stop us on the road to freedom.
You cant keep us, cause our eyes can see.
Men with insight , men in granite, knights
in armor bent on chivalry.
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey baby, from the bee!
shes alright u know shes alright with me !
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey!!
Just like honey baby from the bee
Shes alright shes alright shes alright with me
REPEAT a couple times.
You can take all the tea in china,
put it in a big brown barrel for me.
Sail right round all the seven oceans,
drop it straight into the deep blue sea.
