Yazoo Street Scandal Lyrics

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
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"
