[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".
