When he sun comes up
On a sleepy IiHIe 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 come
Well you're talkin' 'bouf
China Grove

Woh oh oh, woh oh,
China Grove
Well, the preacher
And the teacher
Lord, they are caution

They are
The talk of the town
When the gossip
Gets to tlyin'

And they ain't Iyin'
When the sun goes
Fallin' down
They say that
The father's insane

And dear Mrs. Perkin's
A game
We're talkin' 'bouf
China Grove

Woh oh oh, woh oh,
China Grove
But every day
There's a new thing comin'

The ways of an
Oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies

Wiih 1heir sa murai swords
You can even
Hear 1he music at night
And though i1's a part
Of the lone star state

The people don't
Seem to core
They'll iusi keep on

Lookin' to the east
(Instrumental Break)
Talkin' 'boui China Grove
Woh oh oh, woh oh,
China Grove
