19.Yazoo Street Scandal
Lyricist：Jaime Robbie Robertson
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, 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, he 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 watchin' William in a trance
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 easyâ
