about

Written by Blind Willie McTell

lyrics

Tell me honey, now tell me please
Is my lover now hard to please
I'm gettin' groggy in my knees
Baby it must be love

A funny feelin' up and down my spine
To my head like cherry wine
Make me feel like the world's all mine
Baby it must be love

I hear church bells ringin'
I see visions clear
I hear the birdies singin'
I know darn well there's no birdies near

I don't like your shirts and ties
They don't seem to harmonize
They don't match them big brown eyes
Baby it must be love

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, king
It'll make you give up everything
Every time you feel that sting
Honey it must be love

Made a preacher lay his bible down
Made a rabbit hug a hound
Made King Edward give up his crown
Baby it must be love

I hear church bells ringin'
I see visions clear
I hear those birdies singin'
I know there ain't no birdies near

I don't like your shirts and ties
They don't seem to harmonize
They don't match your big brown eyes
Baby it must be love
