The Grateful Dead
Sugar Magnolia (Live at Providence Civic Center, Providence, RI, June 26, 1974)
[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
Shе can wade in a drop of dew
She don't comе, 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
Now come on out singing, I'll walk you in the sunshine
Ooh, 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 'round
Walk around

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Sunshine daydream, walk you in the tall trees
Going where the wind goes
Blooming, and blooming like a red rose
Now come on over sweetly
And ride out singin'; I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream, sunshine daydream
Come on, come on, come on over, daydream
Sunshine daydream
Well, coming, coming from a sweet dream
Sunshine daydream, wading in a cold stream
Crawl on out your window
Going where the wind goes
They're never gonna miss us
Ride out, wingin', I'll catch you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream, sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream
Well, come on, come on over, daydream
Sunshine daydream
Well, coming, coming from a sweet dream
(Coming from a daydream)
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo, yeah, yeah
Sunshine daydream, coming from a hey, hey
Sunshine daydream, hey, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, hey, hey
Sunshine daydream, hey, hey (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, come on (Come on over, daydream)
Sunshine daydream, hey, hey (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sunshine daydream, hey (Oh, oh, oh)
Thank you all, good night
