Standin out in the night,
Elizah 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 know
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 kinda easy
All day and all night.
"Pick a card fore you go--
It s a long trip to Mexico."
Elizah waited 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 started a flood
For forty days and forty nights".
Then I got my shoes,
And Lizah 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 "--
"Think what you want"
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".
Elizah stood there watching
William in a trance,
As the widowed saint done 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 rock it kinda easy,
All day and all night".
