• Sugar Magnolia
    Music By:

    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 (note 1)
    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 (note 1)
    She's got everything I need
    Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double
    Pays my ticket when I speed

    She comes skimming 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 (note 1)
    Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive
    She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter
    She can make happy any man alive

    Sugar Magnolia
    Ringing that bluebell
    Caught up in sunlight
    Come on out singing and I'll walk you in the sunshine
    Come on honey, come along with me

    She's got everything delightful (note 1)
    She's got everything I need
    A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight
    Lazing in the sunlight, yes indeed

    Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying
    When the moon is half way down
    Sometimes when the night is dying
    I take me out and I wander around
    I wander round

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 (note 1)
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 (note 1)
She's got everything I need
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double
Pays my ticket when I speed

She comes skimming 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 (note 1)
Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive
She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter
She can make happy any man alive

Sugar Magnolia
Ringing that bluebell
Caught up in sunlight
Come on out singing and I'll walk you in the sunshine
Come on honey, come along with me

She's got everything delightful (note 1)
She's got everything I need
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight
Lazing in the sunlight, yes indeed

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying
When the moon is half way down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander around
I wander round
