grateful dead - sugar magnolia (live at winterland, sf, december 31, 1978) lyrics

Loading...

[spoken intro: bill graham & dan aykroyd]
now, ladies and gentlemen, yes
a momentous occasion, as we cruise into the 1980s
here at winterland in san francisco, 1978, going on 1981

what you see before you is a ten, no wait, 12, 12 foot long burning ember of marijuana
yes, let us begin the countdown
five, four, three, two, two and a half, two minus one quarter, one
happy new year, ladies and gentlemen! happy new year!

[verse]
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 now

she can dance a cajun rhythm
jump like a w-llys in four wheel drive
she’s a summer love for spring, fall, and winter
she can make happy any man alive, y’all

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 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 around, i walk around now

[instrumental]
