[Intro]
There's a lady in my life
And this song describes her perfectly

[Verse 1]
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea

[Chorus]
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, by the bees

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
But she's as sweet as Tupеlo honey
She's an angel of thе first degree
Oh, she's sweet, she's sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bees
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Here's another thing
There's a rose pressed inside a bible
That she reads on the balcony
She's sweet in slumber, oh, and I got her number
For the beginning of the century

[Chorus]
I tell you, she's as sweet, she's sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
Oh, she's sweet, she's sweet, the girl is sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, by the bee

[Verse 2]
Listen
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
No, you can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry

[Chorus]
But I tell you, she's as sweet, she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
Oh, she's sweet, she's sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel and she's alright with me
Oh, she's sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
The girl is sweet, she's sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, by the bees
