Slippery St. Paul
Composer(s): Patrick Simmons
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



Down along the river, where the big bulrushes grow
you find the old frog jump in the water
He won't come up no more, babe
He won't come up no more, baby 
He won't come up no more, woo 
He won't come up no more, sugar mama
He won't come up no more

Smell that burnin' fire, baby, burnin' in the sand
See that devil rise, mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo 
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand

Oh harvest moon keep shinin' your light down on me
The lord reach out his hand; my soul floats on out to thee

I don't feel no pain, when they shot me down
Lay my body out, baby
They put me in the ground, so cold
They put me in the ground, baby
They put me in the ground, woo 
They put me in the ground, sugar mama
They put me in the ground
