Whoa, Mud Slide, I'm depending on you
Bm9 E Bm9 E
I don't know but I've been told
Bm9 E Bm9 E
There's a time from time to time
Bm9 E Bm9 E
I can't eat I can't sleep
Bm9 E Bm9 E
But I just might move my feet
Bm9
'Cause there's nothing like
E Bm9 E
The sound of sweet soul music

To change a young lady's mind

And there's nothing like a
E Bm9 E
Walk on down by the bayou
Bm9 E Bm9
To leave the world behind

I'm gonna cash in my hand
Bm9 E
and pick up on a piece of land
Bm9 E Bm9 E
And build myself a cabin back in the woods
Bm9 E
Lord, it's there I'm gonna stay
Bm9 E
Until there comes a day
Bm9 E Bm9 E
When this old world starts to changing for the good
Bm9 E Bm9 E
Now, the reason I'm smiling is over on a island
Bm9 E Bm9 E
On a hillside in the woods where I belong
Bm9 E
I wanna thank Jimmy, Jimmy, John, and Nick, and Laurie
Bm9 E Bm9
The No Jets Construction for setting
E Bm9 E
Me down a homestead on the farm, whoa oooh
[Chorus]

Baby, baby, baby, I know, on a Haiti day
Bm9 E Bm9 E Bm9 E Bm9 E Bm9 E
Stoney Lee Blue Borne picking on a fretless bass, babe
Bm9 E Bm9 E Bm9 E Bm9 E Bm9 E
Oil Slick slipping and a slapping and a sliding on
Bm9 E Bm9 E Bm9 E
Kootcheroooooo
