Magnolia Flowers + 

The quiet fading out of life + 

In a corner full of ugliness. + 

I went lookin’ for magnolia flowers + 

But I didn’t find ’em. + 

I went lookin’ for magnolia flowers in the dusk + 

And there was only this corner + 

Full of ugliness. + 

’Scuse me, + 

I didn’t mean to stump ma toe on you, lady, + 

There ought to be magaolias + 

Somewhere in this dusk. + 

’Scuse me, + 

I didn’t mean to stump ma toe on you. + 
