The Grateful Dead
Sugar Magnolia (Live at Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ, June 17, 1991)
[Verse 1]
Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming
Heads all empty, and I don't care
I 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
And jump like a Willys in four-wheel drive
She's my summer love for spring, fall, and winter
She can make happy any man alive
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell
Caught up in sunlight
Come on out singing, I'll walk you in the sunshine
Come on, honey, come along 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 around
Walk around

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
One, two, three, four
Sunshine daydream, walk you in the tall trees
We're going through the windows
Blooming, blooming like a red rose
Now come on over sweetly
Ride out singin'; I'll catch you in the morning sunshine
But you gotta come on over here
Sunshine daydream, so come on over daydream
Sunshine daydream, come on over
Sunshine daydream, wading in a cold steam
Crawl on out your window
We're going, going where the wind goes
They're never gonna miss us
Ride out singin', I'll catch you in the morning sunshine
Hey, sunshine daydream
Hey, hey, come and fade away dream
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, hey, hey
[Instrumental Break]

Sunshine daydream, hey, hey
Come and fade away dream, hey, hey
Sunshine daydream
Coming from a sweet dream
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Just dream, just dream, dream
