Backwoods is the fourth track from the band's third studio album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan.

Lyrics

Someone spilled blood many years ago
Someone spilled blood but do you know
That from the backwoods where the Chuck Berry's grow
Come your long tall daddies of a rock and roll

Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now

Spinning' down from the clouds like a tornado
Spinnin' out of control like a psychedelic soul
With a rhythm hittin' harder than Larry Holmes
Come your long tall daddies of rock and roll

Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now (yeah)

Oh well Mr. Uplift Mofo my man Bo Diddley hit sippin' a bottle of nickle ripple play the lickity split finger licking licks for all you wicked city slick chicks and all you nitty gritty hick we'll make your nipples ripple, make you wanna dip your dipple, make you wanna soak your hickory stick, that's right, because my man has a grip on it and I do mean on it, which brings to mind a very sinister minister kind of guy, a man named Little Richard who was born to make them bitches stir, that's right, he'll make the sweet substance drip from the middle of your hillbilly lips, and like the farmer milks his cow, the howling wolf will howl and since times does allow, you all can take me to your backwoods now, yo slim

Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Wow, take me to your backwoods
