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
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
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

I'm already declaring this the best album of the year
j adore !!!
Fuck me. That's different gravy.
Thanks for posting most of this album on YouTube! Every track I've heard stands on its own and is excellent. I ordered the disk this morning, and will be sending it to my brother and sister. Just Amazing!
I am floored.
banding tones to the maxsimum
Now, this is trip-hop, Norah :)
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.
@David Davidson that shoe taste will haunt my mouth forever :( (thanks for the ace tip David x)
Jessica Pratt's latest. 28 minutes of pure delight. Enjoy.

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

Nice!! ,just discovering Mercury Red after hearing Goddess Highway just yesterday for the first time...
Rev. REV!!
OH wow...This is sweet~~!!!!!
💕❤️💕❤️
Well I didn't expect this one.
Now this is one Bobbie Gentry song I never really expected to get a re-do!
Sounds good
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!
This is just perfect.
