James Taylor - Mud Slide Slim Lyrics

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

Kootcheroo
