[Intro]
Okay

[Verse 1]
Way down upon Sycamore Slough
A white man sings the blues
Selling roses of paper maché
With flecks of some starlight dew
Swiped a bunch and threw it your way
Where hazy moonlight glowed
Way down, down along Lazy River Road

[Verse 2]
Way down upon Shadowfall Ward
End of the avenue
Run, hide, seek in your own backyard
Mama's backyard won't do
All night long I sang "Love's Sweet Song"
Down where the water flowed
Way down, down along Lazy River Road

[Bridge]
Moonlight wails as hound dogs bay
Never quite catch the tune
Stars fall down in buckets like rain
'Til there ain't no standing room
Bright blue boxcars train by train
Clatter while dreams unfold
Way down, down along Lazy River Road
[Verse 3]
Way down upon Seminole Square
Belly of the river tide
Call for me and I will be there
For the price of a taxi ride
Nighttime double-clutches into the today
Like a truck downshifting its load
Way down, down along Lazy River Road

[Bridge]
Moonlight wails as hound dogs bay
Never quite catch the tune
Stars fall down in buckets like rain
'Til there ain't no standing room
Bright blue boxcars train by train
Clatter while dreams unfold
Way down, down along Lazy River Road

[Verse 4]
Thread the needle right through the eye
Thread that runs so true
All the others I let pass by
I only wanted you
Never cared much for careless love
Oh, how your bright eyes glowed
Way down, down along Lazy River Road
[Outro]
Way down, down along Lazy River Road
Way down, down along Lazy River Road
