"Marmalade, Molasses And Honey" lyrics

Marmalade, Molasses And Honey

Marmalade, molasses and honey
Cinnamon and sassafras tea
They make a morning
Finger-licking and sunny
Sweet as it can be
Pour it over me

All the hummingbirds are out humming
Honeysuckles spiking the breeze
Feel like a dilly of a day
Is a coming
Peaking through the sycamore trees

You know what I'd love
To do
Head for the hills
With you
Maybe we'll climb
A few
What do you say?
Hey
Let's make a day of it

Later when the moon is out riding
Clear across the licorice sky
I bet you
Not a single star will be hiding
And we'll name them all
Catch them if they fall

We don't need tomorrows with money
Long as we're together they'll be
Sweeter than marmalade, molasses and honey
Cinnamon and sassafras tea
Cinnamon and sassafras tea
