  • Mud Slide Slim
    And the Blue Horizon

    Oh, Mud Slide
    I'm dependent on you

    I don't know but I've been told
    There's a time from time to time
    I can't eat
    I can't sleep
    But I just might move my feet
    'Cause there's nothing like the sound of sweet soul music
    To change a young lady's mind
    And there's nothing like a walk on down by the bayou
    To leave the world behind
    Mud Slide
    I'm depending upon you
    Mister Mud Slide Slim
    And the Blue Horizon

    I've been letting the time go by
    Letting the time go by
    Yes, I'm letting the time go by
    Letting the time go by

    I'm gonna cash in my hand
    And pick up on a piece of land
    And build myself a cabin back in the woods
    Lord, it's there I'm gonna stay
    Until there comes a day
    When this old world starts to changing for the good
    Now the reason I'm smiling is over on a island
    On a hillside in the woods where I belong
    I wanna thank Jimmy, Jimmy, John, Nick and Laurie
    The No Jets Construction
    For setting me down a homestead on the farm

    Mud Slide
    I'm depending upon you
    Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon

    Night goes on and on, don't want to come at all
    Baby, baby, baby, I know

    Stoney Lee Blue Borne,
    Picking on a fretless bass, babe

    Oil slick, slipping and a slapping and a sliding on
