Oh Pleasant Hope Lyrics

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!
