Sugar Magnolia

by Grateful Dead

Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming
Heads all empty and I don’t care
Saw my baby down by the river
Knew she’d have to come up soon for air

Sweet blossom come on, under the willow
We can have high times if you’ll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside

She’s got everything delightful
She’s got everything I need
Takes the wheel when I’m seein' double
Pays my ticket when I speed


She comes skimmin' through rays of violet
She can wade in the drop of dew
She don’t come and I don’t follow
Waits backstage while I sing to you

Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm
Jump like a Willy's in four wheel drive
She’s a summer love in the spring, fall and winter
She can make happy any man alive

Sugar magnolia
Ringin' that bluebell
Caught up in sunlight
Go on out singing I’ll walk you in the sunshine
Come on honey, come along with me

She’s got everything delightful
She’s got everything I need
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight
Blazing in the sunlight yes indeed

Sometimes when the cuckoo’s cryin'
When the moon is half-way down
Sometimes when the night is dyin'
I take me out and I wander around
I wander ’round

Sunshine daydream
Walking in the tall trees
Going where the wind goes
Bloomin' like a red rose
Breathin' more freely
Ride out singin’, I’ll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine, daydream
Sunshine, daydream
Walking in the sunshine...
