Marianne Faithfull - Mud Slide Slim lyrics

rate me

Mud Slide Slim and the blue horizon,

Oh, Mud Slide and depending 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 like to move my feet

'Cause there's nothing like the sound of sweet soul music

To change your 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 on you,

Mr. Mud Slide Slim on 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 wanted cash in my hand

Pick upon a piece of land

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 changing for the good.

Now the reason I'm smiling

Is over on an island

On a hillside in the woods where I belong.

I wanna thank Jimmy Jimmy John and Mick and Robbie

Of Nojets Construction to send me down homestead on a farm.

Oh, Mud Slide, I'm depending on you.

Mr. Mud Slim on 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.
