(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!
