Текст песни Yazoo Street Scandal - 2000 Digital Remaster - The Band

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 know
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, all night
I pick a card before you go
It's a long trip to Mexico
Eliza waitin' 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 started a flood for forty days and forty nights"
Then I got 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'
King want the one"
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, watchin'
William in a trance
As the widow [?] 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 rock it kinda easy
All day and all night"
