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.....
