Mailbox Blues Songtext
von Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues Band

I′m gon' move up to the country, baby
I′ma paint. I'ma paint, I'ma paint my mailbox blue
I′m gon′ move up to the country, baby
I'ma paint. I′ma paint, I'ma paint my mailbox blue
Put some flowers on it, baby
Paint some trailin′ vines and dew

You know I'm leavin′ L.A. baby
Sugar now you know this smog's done got me down
I'm leavin′ L.A. baby
Sugar now you know this smog′s done got me down


I'm moving′ up to the canyon, baby
Where there ain't no dog gon′ smog around

Come here baby
Sugar, let your pa-pa-papa take you by the hand
Come here, baby
Sugar, let your pa-pa-papa take you by the hand
You be my woman, and I'll be your city-boy, country man

I′m gon' move up to the country, baby
I'ma paint. I′ma paint, I′ma paint my mailbox blue
I'm gon′ move up to the country, baby
I'ma paint, I′ma paint, I'ma paint my mailbox blue
Put some flowers on it, baby
Paint some trailin′ vines and dew
