Doobie Brothers - China Grove 1974

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!)

this lead singer has not been with DB for years, it will not be the same singer today.

Actually it is the same singer, Tommy Johnston. Patrick Simmons (the other guitarist) is there in the current lineup as well.
