Sweet Magnolia Blossom
Billy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's the proper kinda lady sleeps with her shades down
Sweet Magnolia I wanna hold ya my sweet Magnolia
Sweet Magnolia Blossom she don't smoke no cigarettes
She's never tasted liquor and she ain't been loved on yet
Sweet Magnolia I wanna hold ya my sweet Magnolia
And when her car gave out on that country road who came drivin' fast
It was me hee hee hee it was me hee hee hee
It was me Lord the devil that I am
Sweet Magnolia Blossom got a smile upon her face
She let me take her home last night and she joined the human race
Sweet Magnolia I want to hold ya my sweet Magnolia
Sweet Magnolia Blossom lives here in our town
She's my kind of lady we sleep with our shades down
Sweet Magnolia my sweet Magnolia blossoms late last night
Sweet Magnolia my sweet Magnolia blossoms late last night
This song is about a woman named Sweet Magnolia Blossom who lives in the same town as the singer. She is described as a "proper kind of lady" who is very reserved, as she sleeps with her shades down and has never smoked or drank alcohol before. However, the singer is drawn to her and wants to hold her.
In the second verse, the singer admits to siphoning off her gas at a prayer meeting and then coming to her rescue when her car broke down on a country road. He takes advantage of the situation and brings her home, claiming that she "joined the human race" that night. In the final verse, the singer reiterates his feelings for Sweet Magnolia and confirms that she blossomed late in the night.
The song can be interpreted in different ways, but one reading could be about a man who sees Sweet Magnolia as someone he can take advantage of because she is so innocent and sheltered. He is drawn to her because of her purity, but when he is alone with her, he is more interested in corrupting her than anything else. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of idealizing someone and then exploiting them.
