Sugar Magnolia (Live at The Spectrum, Philadelphia, September 21, 1972)
[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 tickets when I speed
[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 Willys in four-wheel drive
She's my summer love in the spring, fall, and winter
She can make happy any man alive, y'all
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]
[Outro]
Sunshine daydream, walking in the tall trees
Going where the wind goes
Blooming like a red rose
Now come on over sweetly
Ride out singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream, sunshine daydream
Come on over, daydream
Sunshine daydream, falling from my first dream
Sunshine daydream, wading in a cold stream
Crawl on out your window, going, going where the wind goes
They're never gonna miss us
Ride out singin', I'll catch you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream, sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, come on over, daydream
Sunshine daydream, going for a sweet dream
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sunshine daydream, woo-hoo
Sweet flowing daydream
