(Dr. Richard Peddicord) Billy Joe went lookin' round One yellow summer day To see if he could find some grass To help him on his way But everywhere that Billy went They said the town was dry So he got to talkin' round And ask the reason why. Oh! pleasant hope He asked the reason why Oh! pleasant hope When we're gonna get our dope! Oh! pleasant hope Won't you help him on his way Oh! pleasant hope Won't you help him on his way. They said they're burning farmers now Long live Mexico! For some uncertain reason now Just won't let grass grow All we have to do is wait some more And bide our time And pretty soon the times will change And grass will flow like wine. Oh! pleasant hope Grass will flow like wine Oh! pleasant hope Grass will flow like wine Oh! pleasant hope Grass will flow like wine Oh! pleasant hope Grass will flow like wine!
