歌曲歌詞
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
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She'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
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She'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
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright she's alright (she'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 she's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey baby from the bee
She's my baby you know she's alright
A posting to the van mailing list may/96 notes the existence of a lost verse to this song here transcribed from a performance on the van morrison in ireland concert video:
Theres a rose pressed inside a bible
That she reads on the balcony
She's sweet in slumber and I've got her number
For the beginning of the century
Van list member art siegel comments in nov/97 that I don't think the rose in the Bible is a true lost verse but rather one that van added to his live performances years after the origin
Here is though a true lost verse which is in the original sheet music
Ill tell a tale of old manhattan
Adirondack bus to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my numbers gonna show
The dusty springfield cover version on the van morrison songbook cd has a variant of this
I heard a tale of old manhattan
I've never been there but I want to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my numbers gonna show
