Lyrics
[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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Well, 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
[Verse 5]
Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm
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
[Verse 6]
Sugar Magnolia
Ringing that bluebell
Caught up in sunlight
Come on out singing
I'll walk you in the sunshine
Mmm, come on, honey
Come along with me
[Verse 7]
She's got everything delightful
She's got everything I need
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight
Crazy in the sunlight, yes, indeed
[Verse 8]
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
I wander 'round
[Verse 9]
Sunshine daydream
I'll walk you the tall trees
We're going where the wind goes
Blooming like a red rose
Breathing more freely
Lord, I'm singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream
Sunshine daydream
I'll walk you in the sunshine
Sunshine daydream
