Mercury Rev - Okolona River Bottom Band Lyrics






La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

Every year about this time, the local gentry
Have a meeting in Chickasaw land
They all come to judge each and every entry
That wants to try out for the Okolona band

All the way from the Kosciusko
Up from Biloxi Shore
All in all, there's not a half grown man
That wouldn't like to be in the Okolona River Bottom Band

La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

The semi-annual
Come as you can-ual
Five man band-ual
Okolona River Bottom Band

La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

The backwood majority
No hold barr-edy
Come as you are-edy
Okolona River Bottom Band
La la la la la

All the way from Kosciusko
Up from Biloxi Shore
All in all, there's not a half grown man
Who wouldn't like to be in the Okolona River Bottom Band

La la la la la

See, I told you society
Green apple pie-ety
Delta variety
Okolona River Bottom Band

La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

    It may be a covers album, but if there is another record that sounds as beautifully joyous as this before 2019 is up, well, i`ll eat Werner Herzog `s already eaten shoe.

    Loved the original when I first heard it 50 years ago; love this spooky, surreal, multilayered cover version!

    Now this is one Bobbie Gentry song I never really expected to get a re-do!

  22. p.... s....

    Sounds good

  23. C.... K....

    Probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It's also odd that its a rework of a 60's song because the day this released I started taking a 60's class. Sick!

  24. N.... L....

    This is just perfect.
