Have you heard the version by Cassandra Wilson?
I included it on my "Swish Mix Volume II" and I think you have a copy of that one. It's a stunning rendition of the song and, if you don't have it or can't find it, I'll throw it on that new comp I promised to send you along with that Death Cab for Cutie song we discussed.
I'll keep your son in my thoughts and will let you know what happens with mine as things move forward.
Swish
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 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 granite,
Knights in armor bent on chivalry.
