Lyrics

Way down upon Sycamore Slough
White man sings the blues
Selling roses of paper mache
Specks of starlight dew
Swiped a bunch, threw em your way
Down where the hazy moonlight glows
Way down, down on lazy river road

Way down upon Shadowful Ward
End of the avenue
Run, hide, hide and seek in your own backyard
Mama's backyard won't do
All night long I'd sing love's sweet songs
Down where the water flowed
Way down, down on lazy river road

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 box cars, train by train
Clatter while dreams unfold
Way down, down on lazy river road

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
Night time double clutches into the day
Like a truck downshifting its load
Way down, down on lazy river road

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 box cars, train by train
Clatter while dreams unfold
Way down, down on lazy river road

Thread the needle right through the eye
Where the thread runs so true
All the others that I let pass by
I only wanted you
Never cared much for careless love
But my how your bright eyes glow
Way down, down on lazy river road
Way down, down on lazy river road
Way down, down on lazy river road
