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

And their proud from where they came

Oh, china grove

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

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
