Story Behind The Song
When I met my future wife she has just finished with a difficult relationship inwhich she had been treated unkindly. She wanted nothing to do with me or men in general. However, I was smitten and determined I set about winning her affection no matter how long it took. 24 years later, I'm glad that I did. Best decision I ever made.

Slide baby slide slide over to me G
Slide baby slide slide over to me G
If beauty is you cryin? then that?s my destiny C-G
Let your tears fall into the deep blue sea D-G
She said move baby move move aside for me
Move baby move move aside for me
Take a better man than you set me free
Rather drown in the sea let me be
Slide baby slide slide over to me
Slide baby slide slide over to me
If beauty is your sharp tongue then that?s your destiny
I?m strong enough set you free
Ten times refused me one time she said yes
Ten times refused me one time she said yes
Took her dancin? she wore a long red dress
Danced all night long she never let me rest
Slide baby slide slide over to me
Slide baby slide slide over to me
If beauty is you dancin? then dancin?s my destiny
I?ll dance day and night till you say yeas to me
Ten times refused me one time she said yes
Ten times refused me one time she said yes
Little white church she wore a long white dress
All night long she never let me rest
Slide baby slide slide over to me
Slide baby slide slide over to me
If beauty is your lovin? then that?s my destiny
Been to the promised land beauty set me free
Been to the promised land beauty se me free
