China Grove — текст песни (doobie brothers)

When the sun comes up on a sleepy little 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 came.

Well, you`re talkin` `bout China Grove, wo, oh, oh,
oh, China Grove.

Well, the preacher and the teacher,
Lord, they`re a caution, they are the talk of the town.
When the gossip gets to flyin` and they ain`t lyin`;
when the sun goes fallin` down.
They say that the father`s insane
and dear Missus Perkin`s a game.

We`re talkin` `bout the China Grove, wo, oh, oh,
oh, China Grove.

But ev`ryday there`s a new thing comin`,
the ways of an oriental view.
The sheriff and his buddies
with their samurai swords,
you can even hear the music at night.
And though it`s part of the Lone Star State
people don`t seem to care,
they just keep on lookin` to the East.

Talkin` `bout the China Grove, oh, China Grove
