Lyrics
Stranded out in the night, Eliza took me down
To see the widow give a rain to the town
Well it's against the law to be a tonic man
But the widow knows she's got the upper hand
So I went on in feeling kind of wheezy
You know she soothed my mind, boys
She rocked me kind of slow and easy all day (Slow and easy)
And all night (Slow and easy)
Pick a card before you go
It's a long trip to Mexico
Eliza wait by the door
I can't stay here anymore
No, no
Well 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 (Slow and easy)
Forty days, forty nights (Slow and easy) "
Well then I dropped my shoes, Eliza called my name
She said it looked to her like it was going to rain
Well then the cotton came, it came in choking
And the widow laughed and said, "Well I ain't joking"
We'll take it once and for all," she said, "Now don't you tease me
I just fell in love, boys
So rock me kind of slow and kind of easy all day (Slow and easy)
And all night (Slow and easy)
All day, slow and easy
All night, slow and easy"
Sweet William said with a drunken head
"If I had me a boat, I'd help you all float"
Eliza stood there watching William in a trance
As the widow 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 kind of slow and easy all day (Slow and easy)
And all night (Slow and easy)
All day (Slow and easy)
And all night (Slow and easy)
Yeah, and all night"
