This is a version by Fred Neil. It may or may not be what you are looking for, but his voice was deep and smooth like velvet steel.


Country Boy

        Tuning: DADGBD
D(7) is played throughout the song; in "Bo Diddley" style:

d -0--0------0-0-0----0-0------

D -0--0------0-0-0----2-0------

D -0--0------0-0-0------0------

Now I'm just a country boy
I got sand all in my shoes
You know I got stuck in the big city
Got to sing the big city blues
Yeah yeah Miss Lindy
Say baby don't you leave home
I don't care about them
And I don't like it
Well they best leave us alone
Hey Miss Lindy
I said baby don't you go
If I got to jump in the muddy Mississippi
Gonna swim to the gulf of Mexico
Say swim to Mexico
Let's swim
See I'm just a country boy
I got sand all in my shoes
You know I got stuck in the big city
Got to sing the big city blues
City blues
Yeah Miss Lindy
Yeah yeah Miss Lindy
