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
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

Sugar Magnolia blossom's blooming (sex)
Head's all empty and I don't care (drugs)
Saw my baby down by the river
Knew she'd have to come up soon for air
Sweet blossom come on under the willow (attracted to you)
We can have high times if you'll abide (drugs)
We can discover the wonders of nature (sex)
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside (sex cont.)
She's got everything delightful (sex)
She's got everything I need (sex)
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double (drugs)
Pays my ticket when I speed (awww, that's sweet)
She come skimming through rays of violet
She can wade in a drop of dew (K, got me on this one)
She don't come and I don't follow (it was called FREE love for a reason)
Waits backstage while I sing to you (but, hey, she still waits for him)
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 (sounds like she's pretty cool)
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 (yea... this is all about sex)
She's got everything delightful
She's got everything I need (more sex)
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 (its late at night, guessing he's gonna party w/ the boys)
Sunshine daydream
Walk you 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 (but he comes back to her in the morning)
The meanings are up for us to decided, but please dont just blindly say drugs, thats just stupid
but I read this was the breaking point in the relationship between Weir and Hunter but I can't figure out why. Someone said it was because Weir replaced one of Hunter's lines with "Jumps like a willys in a 4 wheel drive"
Is that supposed to mean something? Why would Hunter be so mad
1) Blossoms blooming
Marijuana buds = flowers blossoming (the bud actually is a flower that blossoms)
2) Head's all empty and I don't care
Effects of pot (don't care about shit, empty/light headed)
3) Saw my baby down by the river
Idk about where you live but in my town everyone smokes by the river, if you go there on a summer day you're bound to find someone smoking
6) We can have high times if you'll abide
Obvious
7-8) We can discover the wonders of nature rolling in the rushes down by the riverside
Weed makes me appreciate nature a ton more and I tend to do stupid fun shit like rolling down grass hills
9-10)She's got everything delightful She's got everything I need
Being high is very delightful and sometimes seems like all that matters
11) Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double
Like danknuggz said people who are on coke (or drunk, in my experience) smoke pot to calm down and focus on the road, I always drive slower while high mostly b/c of paranoia or just thinking I'm going really really fast lol
12)Pays my ticket when I speed
Sell some weed = quick money
13-16) 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
This verse doesn't really give any distinct clues although it's a beautiful verse. The last line (Waits backstage while I sing to you) could be interpreted as pot
17-18) She can dance a Cajun rhythm Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive
Feelings/experiences induced by smoking weed, also things it makes you want to do
19) She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter
Have you ever smoked weed, any season, gone outside, and felt like it is the most beautiful summer day? :D
20) She can make happy any man alive
Alright this is getting way too deep into it, but the word can suggest that She currently has the ability to make anyone happy - there is no "could" which implies possessiveness. Meaning She is the love of Bob's life as well as anyone else who enjoys her sweet fumes
(21-30)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
Yea this one is about going outside while high as well, breeze in the pines, crazy in the sunlight, etc.
(31-35)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
He smokes weed anytime of the day and goes out and wanders - who hasn't taken many a late night/ early morning stoned walk and just wandered? Who out of pot smokers at least.
(36)Sunshine daydream
Daydreaming in the sunshine pretty obvious as well
37) Walk you the tall trees
Kind of a stretch but tall weed plants I guess, probably just a line about nature and beauty
38)Going where the wind goes
Smoke travels with the wind, weed makes you do things on a whim and do what you feel
39)Blooming like a red rose
Buds again
40) Breathing more freely
Effects of weed, at times a breath of fresh air
41) Light out singing
I sing a lot while high (and in general but more when high lol)
Sunshine daydream....
Anyways its a beautiful song that doesn't need all this analysis but still... I think you ppl should open your minds to multiple interpretations as it could be about both. The Dead are fucking great
We can have high times if you'll abide... and this phrase is supposed to be about LOVE *lol*
The song is about BOTH a girl he likes AND Marijuana. Why is it so hard to understand that deep poetic lyrics can have different meanings at the very same time..
I dont get it why people are offended/pretending to be moral when there is discussion of a Grateful-song. It was the 60´s ffs!
It´s just as awesome anyway..
