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 knows
She's 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 and all night

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

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
Came in chokin'

And the widow laughed and said
I ain't jokin'
Take once for all
She said: Now don't ya tease me
I just fell in love, boy
So rock me kinda slow and kinda easy
All day and all night

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 did 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
