Doobie Brothers - China Grove 1974 br br When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town br Down around San Antone br And the folks are risin for another day br round about their homes br br The people of the town are strange br And theyre proud of where they came br Well you're br talking 'bout China Grove (Talking 'bout your China Grove) br Wo br ho ho! (Wo oh!) (China Grove) br br Well, the preacher and the teacher br Lord, theyre a caution br They are the talk of the town br When the gossip gets to flyin br And they aint lyin br When the sun goes fallin down br br They say that the fathers insane br And dear Miss Perkins a game br We're talking 'bout your China Grove br (Talking 'bout your China Grove) br Wo ho ho! ( Wo oh! ) (China Grove) br br But every day there's a new thing comin br The ways of an oriental view br The sheriff and his buddies br With their samurai swords br You can even hear the music at night br br And though it's a part of the Lone Star State br People don't seem to care br They just keep on looking to the east br br ((Instrumental) br br We're talking 'bout br your China Grove (Talking 'bout your China Grove) br Wo ho ho! (Wo oh!)
