(Al Kooper) 

Spoken:  House in the country take one 



No need to worry 

Folks in a hurry 

leave them behind you 

no one can find you 

House in the country 

House in the country 



All the relaxin' 

Will soon fill the cracks in 

Good for your head too 

If you are led to 

House in the country 

House in the country 

Green surrounding 

Love abounding 

You won't find a manhole there 



Yes, yes I need you 

Come let me feed you 

I've never tried to 

Come let me hide you 

House in the country 

House in the country 



I have never brought anybody there 

Bring your own chair to sleep in 

When we arrive, after the drive 

Then you can shower, and talk for an hour 

Then sleep in your chair 



(Instrumental Interlude) 



Sleep on the floor there 

Don't ask for more there 

Sun wakes you up too 

Glad you came up to 

House in the country 

House in the country 



La la la la la...etc 

House in the country (x4)
