China Grove

When the sun comes up on the sleepy little town

Down around San Antoine

and the folks are rising for another day

Round about their home

People of the town are strange

and the power they wear they gain

Well you're talking 'bout talking 'bout China Grove

Wo ho ho!Wo oh!China Grove

Well the preacher and the teacher

No they are caution

They are the talk of the town

When the gossip gets to flying and they ain't in line

When the sun go falling down

They say that their father's insane

and damn Miss Perkins again

We're talking 'bout talking 'bout your China Grove

Wo ho ho!Wo oh!China Grove

Well every day there's a new thing coming

The ways are but all brand new

The shiver-banding buddies with the samurai swords

You can even hear the music at night

and those it's a power of a lone star state

People don't seem to care

We'll just keep on looking to the east
