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 theyre proud of where they came Well you're talking 'bout China Grove (Talking 'bout your China Grove) Wo ho ho! (Wo oh!) (China Grove)
Well, the preacher and the teacher Lord, theyre a caution They are the talk of the town When the gossip gets to flyin And they aint lyin When the sun goes fallin down
They say that the fathers insane And dear Miss Perkins a game We're talking 'bout your China Grove (Talking 'bout your China Grove) Wo ho ho! ( Wo oh! ) (China Grove)
But every day 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 a part of the Lone Star State People don't seem to care They just keep on looking to the east
((Instrumental)
We're talking 'bout your China Grove (Talking 'bout your China Grove) Wo ho ho! (Wo oh!)
