Sugar Magnolia blossom's blooming<br>
Head's all empty and I don't care<br>
Saw my baby down by the river<br>
Knew she'd have to come up soon for air</p>

Sweet blossom come on under the willow<br>
We can have high times if you'll abide<br>
We can discover the wonders of nature<br>
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside</p>

She's got everything delightful<br>
She's got everything I need<br>
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double<br>
Pays my ticket when I speed</p>

She come skimming through rays of violet<br>
She can wade in a drop of dew<br>
She don't come and I don't follow<br>
Waits backstage while I sing to you</p>

She can dance a Cajun rhythm<br>
Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive<br>
She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter<br>
She can make happy any man alive</p>

Sugar magnolia<br>
Ringin' that blue bell<br>
Caught up in sunlight<br>
Come on out singing<br>
I'll walk you in the sunshine<br>
Come on honey, come along with me</p>

She's got everything delightful<br>
She's got everything I need<br>
A breeze in the pines in the summer night moonlight<br>
Crazy in the sunlight yes indeed</p>

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying<br>
When the moon is halfway down<br>
Sometimes when the night is dying<br>
I take me out and I wander round<br>
I wander round</p>

Sunshine daydream<br>
Walk you the tall trees<br>
Going where the wind goes<br>
Blooming like a red rose<br>
Breathing more freely<br>
Light out singing<br>
I'll walk you in the morning sunshine<br>
Sunshine daydream<br>
Walk you in the sunshine</p>

<b><u>Comments</u></b><br>
The opening scene sounds suspiciously reminiscent of Tom Bombadil's first meeting with Goldberry in the rushes alongside the Withywindle. Got an opinion? Please <a href="mailto:chris1224@aol.com">tell me</a>.</p>
