YOU'RE SO SWEET, HORSEFLIES KEEP HANGIN' 'ROUND YOUR FACE
Album : Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Neil Diamond - 1969



You're so sweet, 
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine 
Could never take your place
And your eyes 
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop, 
And I guess it shows.

Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane) 
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name) 
And you're nothing like them females 
From Dover City
(nothin' at all) 
Front teeth missin' 
(hee, you got your front teeth missin') 
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good) 
You're more loyal than my dog Sam, 
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)

You're so sweet, 
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine 
Could never take your place
And your eyes 
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop, 
and I guess it shows. 

I can't forget (oh, no) 
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time 
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o) 
And I almost cried (wept) 
When you took first prize 
(first prize, sweetheart) 
Well, 
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go 
(they never had a chance)

You're so sweet, 
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine 
Could never take your place
And your eyes 
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop, 
and I guess it shows. 

You're so sweet, 
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine 
Could never take your place
And your eyes 
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop, 
And I guess it shows
