3.Sugar Magnolia

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.

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

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.

Well, she can dance a cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four
wheel drive.
She's a 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.

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 sunshine 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.

Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the
wind goes
Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely,
Ride our singin', i'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine, daydream. sunshine, daydream. walking in the sunshine.
