Band – Yazoo Street Scandal Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 14 Second

Stranded out in the night
Eliza took me down
To see the widow give
Rain to the town

Its against the law
To be a tonic man
But the widow knows
Shes 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
Its a long trip to Mexico
Eliza waiting by the door
I cant 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 its gonna rain

Then the cotton king
He came in chokin
And the widow laughed and said
I aint jokin

Take once for all
She said, Now dont 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
Id help yall 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
