Lyrics:

(by j.r. robertson)Stranded out in the night,Eliza took me downTo see the widow giveRain to the town.It's against the lawTo be a tonic man,But the widow knowsShe's got the upper hand.So I went on inFeelin' kinda wheezy.You know she soothed my mind, boys,She rocked me kinda slow and easyAll day and all night.Pick a card before you goIt's a long trip to mexico.Eliza wait by the door,I can't stay here anymore, no, no.Then she took a pillShe washed her feet in the mudShe said 'look out son,You know, I just ordered a flood[Yazoo Street Scandal lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]For forty days and forty nights'.Then I dropped my shoes,Eliza called my name.She said it looked to herLike it's gonna rain.Then the cotton kingCame 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 saidWith 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 manWith a boat named 'breezy'Said: 'you can ride with clyde, boys,If you rock it kinda slow and easy,All day and all night'.
