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
