Blue Cheer - Oh Pleasant Hope Lyrics

(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!
