China Grove

When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town

Down around San Antone

And the folks are risin' for another day

round about their homes

The people of the town are strange

and they're proud of where they came

R: Well you're talkin' 'bout China Grove

Whoa oh ho...

Who ho China Grove

Well the preacher and the teacher, Lord, they're a caution

They are the talk of the town

when the gossip hits the fan, they ain't lyin'

when the sun goes fallin' down

Well they say that the father's insane,

and dear Missus Perkins a game,

R:

Well every day there's a new thing comin',

The ways of an oriental view.

The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords,

you can even hear the music at night.

And though it's a part of the Lone Star state

The people don't seem to care

They'll just keep on lookin' to the east...

R:
