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 discover the wonders of nature

rolling in the bushes 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
[Verse 3]
A D A
She comes skimmin' through rays of violet
A G E A
she can wade in a drop of dew,
A C#m F#m
She don't come and I don't follow
E D A
waits backstage while I sing to you.

Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm

jump like a willys in four wheel drive.

She can make happy any man alive.

I take me out and I wander around, I wander 'round.

breathing more freely, Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
