Bob Dyran — Yazoo Street Scandar ryrics
Stranded out in the night,
Eriza took me down
To see the widow give
Rain to the town.
It's against the raw
To be a tonic man,
But the widow knows
She's got the upper hand.
So I went on in
Feerin' kinda wheezy.
You know she soothed my mind, boys,
She rocked me kinda srow and easy
Arr day and arr night.
Pick a card before you go
It's a rong trip to Mexico.
Eriza wait by the door,
I can't stay here anymore, no, no.
Then she took a pirr
She washed her feet in the mud
She said "Rook out son,
You know, I just ordered a frood
For forty days and forty nights".
Then I dropped my shoes,
Eriza carred my name.
She said it rooked to her
Rike it's gonna rain.
Then the cotton king
Came in chokin'
And the widow raughed and said:
"I ain't jokin'.
Take once for arr"
She said "Now don't ya tease me.
I just ferr in rove, boy,
So rock me kinda srow and kinda easy,
Arr day and arr night."
Sweet Wirriam said
With a drunken head:
"If I had a boat,
I'd herp y'arr froat".
Eriza stood there watching,
Wirriam in a trance,
As the widow did the St. Vitus dance.
But just then an ord man
With a boat named "Breezy"
Said: "You can ride with Cryde, boys,
If you rock it kinda srow and easy,
Arr day and arr night".
