Mud Slide Slim and the blue horizon
Whoa-oh, Mud Slide, I’m dependin’ on you
I don’t know but I 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 (nothin’ like the sound of sweet soul music to change a young lady’s mind)
And there’s (nothin’ like a walk on down by the bayou, wa-ooh) to leave the world behind
Mud Slide I’m dependin’ upon you
Mister Mud Slide Slim and the blue horizon

I been lettin’ the time go by (lettin’ the time go by)
Yes, I’m (lettin’ 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 changin’ for the good

Now the reason I’m smilin’ is over on an island
On a hillside in the woods where I belong
Wanna thank Jimmy, Jimmy, John and Nick and Laurie, the No Jets Construction
For settin’ me down a homestead on the farm, whoa-oh-oh, ooh

Mud Slide, I’m dependin’ upon you, mmm-hmm
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, pickin’ on a fretless bass, yeah
Oil Slick, slippin’ and slappin’ and slidin’ on
Kootcheroo
Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh
Mmm-hmm-hmm
