Stranded out in the night

Eliza 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 knows

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 easy

All day and all night



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



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"



Then I dropped my shoes

Eliza called my name

She said it looked to her

Like it's gonna rain

Then the cotton king

Came in chokin'

And the widow laughed and said

"I ain't jokin'

Take once for all"

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"

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 kinda slow and easy

All day and all night

Это интересно:The Band на протяжении шести лет (с 1968 по 1975) были одной из наиболее популярных и влиятельных рок-групп, чья музыка рассматривалась столь же серьезно, как творения "Rolling stones" и "Beatles". А началось все в 1958-м, когда рок-н-ролльщик из Арканзаса Ронни Хокинс стал набирать себе сопровождающий состав. Одним из первых его соратников стал барабанщик Левон Хелм (р. 26 мая 1942). "Ronnie Hawkins & the Hawks"... продолжение
