People rushin' everywhere
If they'd only slow down once
they might find something there
Green trees and timber land
People workin' with their hands
for sure a different way to live
Gonna keep my cabin at hand
Retreat and live off the land
all around Ukiah, woh woh
The mountain streams that rush on by
Show the fish a jumpin'
and reflect the open sky
The fresh clean smell of the pines
symbol of unchanging times
all around this sacred land
Strangely, though, I've found my way
Right here I'm gonna stay
in this land Ukiah, woh woh
(instrumental)
The fresh clean smell of the pines
symbol of unchanging times
all around this sacred land
Strangely, though, I've found my way
Right here I'm gonna stay
in this land Ukiah, woh woh
Ooh Ukiah
Ooh Ukiah
Ooh Ukiah
Ooh Ukiah
(repeat to fade)
I have always wondered if this song was about the People's Temple since Jim Jones was once located in Ukiah, California
