Sugar Magnolia blossom's blooming
Head's 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 come 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
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
Ringin' that blue bell
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 in the summer night moonlight
Crazy in the sunlight yes indeed

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 round
I wander round

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

    MemoryI was at AdirondakFest in like 2003-5ish(?)... Anyway, it was a jam band camping festival full of top acts (Galactic, Spearhead, MMW, Moe and on and on) which was great, but it was held in early May so it was wet and COLD the whole weekend... while prepared for this, an extra hoodie wouldn't hurt right? So I go looking and find THE ONE... was a light indigo/dark violet color with what looked like early 20th/late 19ty century French liquor art (you know what I mean) and had the words "We can discover the wonders of nature..." Just like that on it so only people who knew the song would get it. I was desperate to have it, yet because the weather was so foul, they had jacked he price to $95, which I didn't have to spend on that... I've been looking for one like it ever since to no avail
