Taj Mahal

Henry Saint Clair Fredericks (born May 17, 1942), who uses the stage name Taj Mahal, is an American Grammy Award winning blues musician. He often incorporates elements of world music into his music. A self-taught singer-songwriter and film composer who plays the guitar, banjo and harmonica (among many other instruments), Mahal has done much to reshape the definition and scope of blues music over the course of his almost 50 year career by fusing it with nontraditional forms, including sounds from the Caribbean, Africa and the South Pacific. more »

Gonna move up to the country 
Paint my mailbox blue 
Gonna Move up to the country 
Paint my mailbox blue 
Get some ribbons and lace baby, 
Paint some trailin' vines and dew 

You know I'm leavin' L.A. baby 
Don't you know this smog 's got me down 
I'm leavin' L.A. baby 
Don't you know this smog has got me down 
I'm goin' up to the country 
Where there ain't no doggone smog around 

Well, you got me baby 
Sugar let your papa take you by the hand 
Well, you be my woman 
And I'll be your city-boy, country lovin' man. 

I'm gonna move up to the country 
Gonna paint my mailbox blue 
Move up to the country 
Gonna paint, gonna paint, gonna paint, my mailbox blue 
Put some flowers on it honey, 
Paint some trailin' vines and dew
