 Verse 1
  
 When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
               
 Down around San Antone
 
 All the folks risen for another day 
              
 Round about their homes
___________________________________________________
 Chorus
                         
 The people in the town are starnge
                              
 And their proud from where they came
                           :II
 We'll your talkin about the china grove
    
 Oh, china grove

 Verse 2
  
 Well the preacher and the teacher 
 
 Lord they're a caution
                       
 They are the talk of the town
 
 When the gossip get a flyin'
 
 And they ain't lyin'
                       
 When the sun goes fallin down
_____________________________________________________
 Chorus
                         
 They say that the fathers insane
                         
 And dear Missus Perkins a game
                           :II
 We'll your talkin about the china grove
    
 Oh, china grove

 Verse 3
 
 But every day theres a new thing comin'
                       
 The ways of a oriental view
 
 The sharrif and his buddies
            
 With their samuri swords
  
 You can even hear the music at night
  
 Although it's apart of a lone star state
  
 People don't seem to care
 
 They just keep on lookin' to the east
