YAZOO STREET SCANDAL
(Words and Music by J. R. Robertson)
1968, 1975 Dwarf Music

Stranded out in the night, Eliza took me down,
To see the window give rain to the town.
Its against the law to be a tonic man,
But the window knows shes got the upper hand.
So I went on in feelin kind a wheezy,
You know she soothed my mind boys.
She rocked me kind a slow and easy
All day and all night.

Pick a card before you go, Its a long trip to Mexico.
Eliza waited by the door.
I cant 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 its gonna rain.
Then the cotton king came in chokin
And the window laughed and said, I aint jokin.
Back against the wall, she said.  Now dont you 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, Id help yall float.
Eliza stood there watchin William in a trance;
As the window 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.
