Yazoo Street Scandal lyrics
Songwriters: Robertson, Jaime Robbie;
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 knows
She s got the upper hand
So I went on in
Feelin kinda wheezy
You know she soothes my mind, boys
She rocked me kinda slow and easy
All day and all night
Pick a card before you go
It s a long trip to Mexico
Eliza waiting by the door
I can t stay here anymore, no, 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
Then the cotton king
He 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 rock me kinda easy"
Sweet William said
With a drunken head
"If I had a boat
I d help y all float"
Eliza stood there watching
William in a trance
As the widow [Incomprehensible]
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 rock it kinda easy
All day and all night"
