Fever Tree is a former American psychedelic rock band of the 1960s, chiefly known for their anthemic 1968 hit, "San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)".
The group hailed from Houston, Texas and began in 1966 as a folk rock outfit called The Bostwick Vines. They changed their name to Fever Tree a year later after the addition of keyboard player Rob Landes.
The band briefly entered the public consciousness when their song "San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)" reached No. 91 in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June 1968.[1] Like most of the band's material, it was written by the couple of Scott and Vivian Holtzman, who also were their producers.[2] This four-minute track captured all the band's trademarks: Dennis Keller's incantation-like vocals, the quick shifting between slow parts with an almost sacral feeling and faster, more rock-oriented parts, and especially the searing guitar work by Michael Knust.
Fever Tree also released their self-titled debut album, Fever Tree, in 1968, which charted at No. 156 on the Billboard 200 Chart.[3

San Francisco Girls (Return Of The Native)
Out there it's summertime
Milk and honey days
Oh, San Francisco girls with
San Francisco ways
Don't try to stop me girl, you can't have your way
Don't try to stop me girl, nothin' you can say
Live like you wanna live and stay where you wanna stay
I just gotta go and get back to the Bay
So you love me girl, you're just in my way
Don't try to stop me girl, I'm movin' out today
Do what you wanna do and play what you wanna play
I just gotta go and get back to the Bay
--song written by Scott Holtzman, Vivian Holtzman & Michael Kunst
Self evident lyrics. Look, if you had a choice between Houston, Texas & San Francisco, California would you stay or would you go? The relationship is breaking up. Maybe she has dreams of marrying an oil man? As for the guy, he has his hat set for the beautiful women in Babylon By the Bay. There are none else like them.
