Bob Dylan, The Band - Yazoo Street Scandal lyrics

[Bob Dylan, The Band - Yazoo Street Scandal lyrics]

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"
