Hey Mr Jelly Roll Baker, Can I please be your slave
When I'm Dead and Gone, I'm gonna Rise up from the Grave
For your Sweet Jelly Roll, The Best Jelly Roll in Town
You're the only Man Baking, and I'm gonna keep my Damper Down
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone.
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
"Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait?
Let me tell ya a story of my situation
I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation"
Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey (one of the most well written songs EVER! )
You can take
All the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right 'round
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 as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
Got in my nose
As we carried our ladders down the street
With the wrought-iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-break
Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work.
Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
if only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like ____?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
(I know it says no profanity, but it can't really be helped because that one word is part of the opening of the song)
