Tupelo Honey Lyrics

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around all 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, she's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, 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 granites
Knights in armor bent on chivalry

She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
(She's an angel)
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, 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 an angel)
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee

Oh, you know she's alright, oh, she's alright with me
(She's an angel)
But you know, you know, you know
She's alright, she's alright with me
(She's an angel)

You know, you know, you know
You know, you know, she's alright, alright with me
(She's an angel)
She's alright, yes, she's alright, she's alright with me
(She's an angel)

She's alright, she's alright with me
(She's an angel)
She's alright, she's alright with me
(She's an angel)
She's all, she's alright, she's alright, she's alright with me
(She's an angel)
She's alright, she's alright, 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 all the seven oceans
Drop it, smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea

Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey, yes she is
She's an angel of the first degree
(She's an angel)
Oh, she's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee
(She's an angel)

Oh, she's sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel, angel of the first degree
(She's an angel)
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the real thing from, from the bee

You know, she's alright, oh, she's alright, she's alright with me
(She's an angel)
She's my baby, you know, she's alright
(She's an angel)
(She's my baby, baby)
She's my baby, don't you know, she's alright?
(She's an angel)
(She's my baby)

She's an angel
She's an angel
She's an angel

Sir George Ivan "Van" Morrison, OBE (generally known as Van Morrison) (born 31 August 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since 1958. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll. He has received numerous music awards during his career, including six Grammy Awards (1996–2007); inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (January 1993), the Songwriters Hall of Fame (June 2003), and the Irish Music Hall of Fame (September 1999); and a Brit Award (February 1994).

Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, writing their 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career, starting with the album Astral Weeks.

Morrison has pursued an idiosyncratic musical path. Much of his music is tightly structured around the conventions of American soul and R&B, such as the popular singles "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Domino", and "Wild Night". An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as his classic album Astral Weeks and lesser known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic Soul," and Morrison rejects the characterization of his genre of music as Rock, citing Elvis Presley as a non-influence.

He continues to perform regularly, and achieved his highest U.S. chart position (number ten on the Billboard 200) with his 2008 album, Keep It Simple. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
