Yazoo Street Scandal
Stranded out in the night, Eliza took me down To see the widow give rain to the town It's against the law to be a tonic man But the widow knowed she got the upper hand So I went on in feelin' kinda wheezy You know she soothed my mind, boys She rocked me kinda slow and easy All day an' all night A pick a card before you go It's a long trip to Mexico Eliza, wait by the door I can't stay here anymore, no, no, no Then she took a pill, she washed her feet in the mud She said 'Look out son, you know, I just ordered a flood For forty days and forty nights' Then I dropped my shoes, Eliza, called my name She said, it looked to her like it's gonna rain Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Then the cotton king, it came in chokin' And the widow laughed and said, 'I ain't jokin', take once for all' She said 'Now don't you tease me I just fell in love, boy So rock me kinda slow and kinda easy All day an' all night' Sweet William said with a drunken head 'If I had a boat, I'd help y'all float' Eliza, stood there watchin' William in a trance As the widow sent on the St. Vitus dance But just then an' old man with a boat named Breezy Said, 'You can ride with Clyde, boys If you rock it kinda slow and easy All day and all night'
