Tupelo Honey Lyrics - Blue Light 'til Dawn - Cassandra Wilson

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
