The Grateful Dead — Sugar Magnolia Live at Winterland SF December 31 1978

[Spoken Intro: Bill Graham & Dan Aykroyd] Now, ladies and gentlemen, yes A momentous occasion, as we cruise into the 1980s Here at Winterland in San Francisco, 1978, going on 1981 What you see before you is a ten, no wait, 12, 12 foot long burning ember of marijuana Yes, let us begin the countdown Five, four, three, two, two and a half, two minus one quarter, one Happy New Year, ladies and gentlemen! Happy New Year! [Verse 1] Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming Heads 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 [Refrain] 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 [Verse 2] She comes skimmin' 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 now She can dance a Cajun rhythm And 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, y'all Sugar magnolia ringing that bluebell Caught up in sunlight Come on out singing, I'll walk you in the sunshine Come on, honey, come along with me [Refrain] She's got everything delightful She's got everything I need A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight Lazing in the sunlight? Yes, indeed [Verse 3] 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 around, I walk around now [Instrumental]
