[00:10.16] |
Stranded out in the night, |
[00:11.92] |
Eliza took me down |
[00:14.76] |
To see the widow give |
[00:17.95] |
Rain to the town. |
[00:21.11] |
It's against the law |
[00:24.28] |
To be a tonic man, |
[00:27.31] |
But the widow knows |
[00:30.47] |
She's got the upper hand. |
[00:33.21] |
So I went on in |
[00:36.80] |
Feelin' kinda wheezy. |
[00:39.75] |
You know she soothed my mind, boys, |
[00:43.01] |
She rocked me kinda slow and easy |
[00:45.20] |
All day and all night. |
[00:50.06] |
|
[00:52.69] |
Pick a card before you go |
[00:55.30] |
It's a long trip to Mexico. |
[00:58.12] |
|
[01:07.04] |
Eliza wait by the door, |
[01:08.06] |
I can't stay here anymore, no, no. |
[01:12.94] |
|
[01:18.29] |
Then she took a pill |
[01:20.60] |
She washed her feet in the mud |
[01:23.65] |
She said "Look out son, |
[01:26.07] |
You know, I just ordered a flood |
[01:29.10] |
For forty days and forty nights". |
[01:32.87] |
|
[01:36.82] |
Then I dropped my shoes, |
[01:39.34] |
Eliza called my name. |
[01:42.63] |
She said it looked to her |
[01:45.51] |
Like it's gonna rain. |
[01:48.32] |
Then the cotton king |
[01:51.85] |
Came in chokin' |
[01:57.40] |
And the widow laughed and said: |
[02:00.61] |
"I ain't jokin'. |
[02:02.69] |
Take once for all" |
[02:04.15] |
She said "Now don't ya tease me. |
[02:07.60] |
I just fell in love, boy, |
[02:10.21] |
So rock me kinda slow and kinda easy, |
[02:14.52] |
All day and all night." |
[02:17.60] |
|
[02:30.72] |
Sweet William said |
[02:32.53] |
With a drunken head: |
[02:36.09] |
"If I had a boat, |
[02:39.04] |
I'd help y'all float". |
[02:41.50] |
Eliza stood there watching, |
[02:46.91] |
William in a trance, |
[02:48.13] |
As the widow did the St. Vitus dance. |
[02:54.84] |
But just then an old man |
[02:57.32] |
With a boat named "Breezy" |
[03:00.40] |
Said: "You can ride with Clyde, boys, |
[03:03.56] |
If you rock it kinda slow and easy, |
[03:10.33] |
All day and all night". |
