Oh ! Pleasant Hope Lyrics - Blue Cheer

(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.
