Lyrics:

Standed 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 and all night
Pick a card before you go
It's a long trip to Mexico

Eliza waited 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 40 days and 40 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'
Think what you want
She said, 'Now don't ya tease me
I just fell in love, boys
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
And the widow seized by 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'

It's getting better, wanna do one more?
What's that?
