[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
She's got everything delightful
She's got everything I need
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double
Pays my ticket when I speed

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
She comes skimmin' through rays of violet
She can wade in a drop of dew
She don't come, and I don't follow
Waits backstage while I sing to you

She can dance a Cajun rhythm
Jump like a Willys in four-wheel drive
She's my summer love in the spring, fall, and winter
She can make happy any man alive
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell
While caught up in sunlight
Come on out singing, I'll walk you in the sunshine
Come on, honey, come on home with me

[Chorus]
She's got everything delightful
She's got everything I need
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight
Lazing in the sunlight? Yes, indeed

[Bridge]
Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying
When the moon is halfway down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out, and I wander 'round
Walk around

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Sunshine daydream, walk you in the tall trees
Going where the wind goes
Blooming like a red rose
Come on over sweetly
And ride out singin'; I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream, sweet Southern daydream
I'll walk you in the tall trees
Going where the wind goes
Blooming, hey, blooming like a red rose
Sweet magnolia daydream
Come on over, daydream
Come on over, daydream
Sweet magnolia daydream
Come on over, daydream
Sweet magnolia daydream
Come on over, daydream
Sunshine daydream, sweet Southern daydream
Going where the wind goes
Blooming, hey, blooming like a red rose
Come on over sweetly
Ride out singin'; I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream, sunshine daydream, say ah-ow
Sunshine daydream, say ah-ow
Sunshine daydream, say ah-ow
Ah-ow
